    Currently using Q Acoustics 7000i speakers. I am looking for a simpler solution with less cable slutter and no big loss of quality sound. Considered the following products: Q Acoustics Media 4, Cambridge Sound TV5, Canton DM 75. How do they compare to the 5.1 set up. I do not need surround effect, a solid stereo with a good level of bass would do. 70 % Blu ray 30 % PS4. Would appreciate your help.

    Hi 3ka, thanks for your enquiry.

    The Q Acoustics soundbar really is a step above the rest to be honest, a stunning soundbar at its original price, and its now currently reduced to £329/€479 including delivery - http://euro.richersounds.ie/p-200641-m-4.aspx?swapstore=1 -  The other soundbars you mention are fantastic at their price point, but i would definitely recommend the M4.

    Comparing against an existing 5.1 system, you'll never get as good a sound from a soundbar as you would with seperate speakers, but the M4 will be as close as you can get without paying a lot more money

    We currently have this in stock, so if you would like to order, or have any other questions, please drop us a post or a PM and we'll get you sorted

    Cheers
    Brian

    Thank you for your reply Brian,
    I will think of it and I might place an order soon,
    P.s do you provide a return policy, in case I am not satisfied going down this route.
    I must say I love my current setup (Q7000i) but M4 is a tempting option.

    My other concern is occasional lip sync issue with my current TV (Samsung UE48H6400) when watching High Bitrate movies from usb / nas drive. I can work around adjusting the audio delay on my Denon AVR, but I am worried it might be a problem using a sound bar.

    Hi, thanks for your post

    There is a 14 day returns policy for distance selling, so if you are not happy with it, providing it is within those 14 days you can give us a call and we can arrange this if need be. 
    I don't believe there should be any problems with the lip sync, but i've had a look through the manual and I don't see anyway this can be adjusted within the soundbar unfortunately
    To date we haven't had any reports of lip sync issues with it but I can't say there definitely won't be

    Any other queries, please let me know

    Brian
