Ok nitwits, thought I would pass this along as a public service to the fine members of the CSS
I have been researching soundbars and finally settled on the $1300 Sony STHT5000 which is fabuolus and befitting the spacious OmeletDen. In the course of this purchase I looked at all kinds of soundbars from $200 up. One that did a nice job clarifying voice and adding some bass and depth to the TV was this bose for $200. For the price it did a nice job.
Now it's selling for $100 which is a steal and will add to your listening enjoyment. Uses an optical cable not HDMI which only really changes how the soundbar is controlled and does nothing to affect the sound
