    Hi, the speakers in my led tv arent the best so am looking at buying a soundbar. I don't want to spend that much on one. between €100-€250 if possible?

    What soundbars do ye have in this price range?

    I have found a few soundbars on amazon and pixmania,

    philips hts3111 for €160
    samsung hw e-350 for €199.

    Any help/advice would be great also.

    Thanks

    Thats the curse of the LED TV - slim and beautiful, but they mainly sound awful!

    We have a couple of excellent options on the affordable sound bar front:

    Sharp HTSB250 - £99.95 / €124.99

    This is a really slim one box solution which will really boost the audio from your TV.

    Sharp HTSB400

    Next up is the HTSB400 at £109.95 / €136.99 - now reduced again the 400 really is a step up - with an 8 driver arrangement, including a dedicated centre speaker it sounds excellent and it uses your existing TV remote to control volume

    shar-htsb400

    However....

    I know it busts the budget a tad but you should have a look at the excellent Q Acoustics Q-TV2 which is not exactly a sound bar but does the same job, more discretly and in some cases it also sounds better!

    mounting-options.htm

    It mounts behind your TV and you can even wall mount your TV to it if required and it really does sound tanfastic :cool: (on the basis of course that pretty much ANY separates system will of course sound WAAAAAYYY better)

    It's currently £269.95 / €329.99

    It's of course my duty as a hifi nutter to emphasise that pretty much ANy AV system including a seperate amp and speakers is going to put all these bars and QTV's to shame - have you considered the Yamaha YHT196 which is amazing value for a (proper) receiver and 5.1 speaker pack at just £179.95 / €224.99??

    Keep us posted and thanks for thinking of us..
