Final note - if you're looking to mount on the wall, this is what I'm going to end up getting for the TV in the basement that's mounted over top of the fireplace:

https://www.amazon.com/Sonos-PLAYBAR...ords=bose+solo

Sonos makes some pretty impressive, versatile stuff. Most of it can later be adapted to include satellite speakers, etc... They won't be quite as good as a fully wired, installed in the ceiling style 7.1 kind of system, but damn that's a lot of work. My understanding is that some of the new Sonos systems can also be incorporated into the 'smart home' tech but that gets beyond my knowledge base.

If you don't want to go that route, a Solo 5 actually CAN be wall mounted.

I have a Sonos soundbar with two Sonos surround speakers and they sound good to my ear, but I'm no audiophile. They're pricey, but they're pretty slick.

We've had a couple of Vizio soundbars for years. The one in the living room is getting a little twitchy - I think there's a signal that interferes with it originating in another unit, because it will sometimes start randomly switching input sources. Either that or my house is haunted by a ghost who really enjoys annoying my wife. But other than that, they're fine.

I'd pay extra for technology that irritated my wife.

If she's going to try to start conversations about work with me while I'm trying to watch Rick and Morty, the very least she can put up with is some static when she's trying to watch This is Us...

I can't even watch Rick and Morty around my wife. All I hear is...."this is stupid"...or "why are you watching that?".

So when she's watching This is Us....I ask her why that chick is so fat.....or why that dude is always crying.

My wife hates it. Absolutely hates it. She loves Archer and even kinda likes You're the Worst. But she thinks Rick and Morty is the goddamn dumbest thing she's ever seen.

I have no idea how she couldn't even get into the Purge Planet or Microverse Battery episodes. Those weren't even that complicated and funny as hell.

I've watched This is Us with us for a few minutes and just start naming off soap opera tropes and shit for random characters until she throws me out.

"That one has cancer, right?"
"No, shutup."
"What about that one? Or is he gay and has AIDS?"
"No! Nobody has AIDS".
"Okay, so he's just gay. So who has the mysterious rich relative?"
"Yes, he's gay. And the rich....God Dammit, just go downstairs...."

This one doesnt look to bad and adorama ive had good luck with for camera and other gear. I use a home entertainment system 7.1 so I have no input on the sound bars but many people go this route since they dont put much into these tv speakers so they can get them thinner.

Honestly, if you've been using your TV speakers anything will sound remarkably bettter.

The incremental gain from a cheap unit to a very good unit is significantly smaller than the incremental gain from TV speakers to a cheap unit.
