Why a soundbar? because, the speakers inside modern television sets are shrinkinga all the time, what with the slim LCD / LED thickness. The TV lacks in bass, the dialogue is not that great to hear and tehre is an overall shrill quality to it. You can make your TV sound experience better with an upgrade that does not cost much - with an affordable soundbar. A good soundbar will help you get the best out of better quality digital transmissions and streaming.

Vs budget soundbars: Good soundbars come with additional drivers for each channel - more channels mean more clarity and less distortion. They also have larger, more-powerful amplifiers ( so, no clipping and less distortion), as well some special designs for better sound wuality. feature advanced designs.
