(Part 2) Top products from r/Soundbars

Since you have some money I would look at a solution like this. Vizio soundbar with a separate powered subwoofer. I like this option because you're getting an actual sub vs a small under powered proprietary bass module. If the soundbar or sub dies you can replace either one vs the whole setup like you would with an include sub. You also can expand/upgrade to an AVR and speakers and keep the sub. This is something that you can't do with most soundbar subs. It's really the best way to implement a soundbar.

Soundbar - Vizio 3.0 $165 or this this Vizio 2.0 for $100

Subwoofer - Get a Dayton Sub 1000 $135 or a Martin Logan Dynamo 300 $120 if you need a smaller downfiring option. Don't forget a sub cable. (length depends on your room placement)

Cool thanks. These from Polk look pretty good to me. Now to find the SWA-9000s for cheap somewhere.

I have these but in white. A super easy to find i. Germany. But you can uses any 4ohm or 4-8ohm speaker as surround. Do not need larger driver. 3 to 4 inch woofer is more then enough with a 3/4 inch tweeter.

Sonos Playbar is hard to beat if you want the bar only, especially with your generous budget. You can add wireless sub and surrounds later on if desired.

Checks most of your boxes. If there's a simpler remote, I'm not aware.


Logitech 915-000194 - Harmony Smart Remote Control with Smartphone App - Black (Renewed) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZYIFXSM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_jBP0DbV6HBA58

There is this Dayton Audio SUB-800 8-Inch 80 Watt Powered Subwoofer (Black) available though: https://www.amazon.in/dp/B0063NU30K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_alR6CbNRSY5ZN

but I don't know how much better it is to spend extra 5k rupees on it than yamaha. It does have the frequency crossover knob which the sw100 doesn't but sw100 has a 10 inch cone and will deliver more oomphf factor than this Dayton. What do you think u/shoturtle ?

I'm picking up speakers, (eventually) for our bedroom TV, and this is what they will be, or something quite similar. :)

Thanks for the reply. I just don't understand why they made the mounting holes 29" apart. I have never heard of 29" studs.

edit: ended up getting this mount

I'll go for the Pro set then.

Mm "limited" quantities.... But the extra 1% cash back isn't till the 15th :/

I figured the suggested Sanus Adjustable Height Speaker Stand would be okay for the rears. Says supports up to 3.5 lbs.

I ordered these for mounting the rear speakers.
