Soundbar Recommendations

The way I see it, sound bars are sold to convenient and a tick better then the speakers in your TV. But there not much better and not very convenient compared to the tv speakers.
At 5-600$ you could buy a 100$ amp/receiver and 5 75$ speakers and a sub with what ever is left over.
Or 2 250$ speakers and a 100amp
Or do the smart thing and go on Craigslist and find some nice set of speakers from the late 60s to 70s and buy a nice amp/sub with whats left over. You can find sets of speaker on Craigslist and at thrift stores for 50$ that smoke ever a new 200$ speaker.

Bose is incredibly overpriced. I'd hope you can return that.
Good news is, you get to spend up to a grand for what you want.
He better do it right and buy a redneck lawn ornament. Haha.

I'd be looking for a new wife if I couldn't return the junk system.

That's true.
I love my home theater system and it was relatively cheap. Bought a Yamaha 7 series receiver, and a handful of Micca speakers for the fronts and rears and center channel with a 12" sub and it sounds wonderful and cost me about 500 total.

Also, while there are some solid speakers that are 40+ years old, you would be hardpressed to find a set that wasn't tired/muddy on the mids and lows due to use. I would get a more modern set of speakers before I went hunting for a needle in the haystack set of speakers that are 40 years old.
Not hard to fix that, cross overs go bad and so do the rings. I have a pair of pioneer cs-88's and after replacing the cross overs I had more lows and mids then I can handle.
And that was just a 10$ fix for both speakers.
And anyway, not like you can't get repop cones or a rebuild kit for anything good. If you have good drivers the speakers can be restored, for cheap even. My cs-88's ended up costing me 40$ to completely restore.
Materials used to make it... 40+ years of technology to improve sound. I mean a car has 4 wheels and an engine, what is different now?
2010 is NOT the 1960's and 1970's....
