I want to put a Soundbar/subwoofer combo in my living room. Anyone have any good suggestions? I have looked at the Harman Kardon & Polk Audio.

I usually avoid Soundbars because they just don't compare to a good 5.1 or 7.1 system. If you're concerned with running wires, you can get a wireless rear speaker kit from Rocketfish.

I have one and it works great.

If you MUST buy a soundbar, you're looking at the right brands. They aren't the very top of the line, but they're very far from the bottom as well. I own a Polk Audio sub and it's fantastic.

I'm with 'scars. I have a sound bar at work for my ipod and the sound is okay but not great. I have an Onkyo 7.1 surround at home that rocks.

Trust me guys, I know that the full system is the way to go, but that won't work in the room that this is going in. I am looking for something with some better sound than the standard tv. I might go visit some local home electronics shops and see if I can get a demo.

In that case, you're on the right track. The two you mentioned should be quality.

That is the best thing to do. Let me give you some advice, ONLY buy whatever sounds good to YOUR ears. Do not look at price. If a cheaper set sounds like a $1,000 set, get that set. Your ears should have the final say.
