Best HDTV Soundbar Speakers – Comparison and Reviews

Most Flat Panel TVs today bear no resemblance to the old analog sets of yesteryear. They are much thinner and their frames (bezels) are smaller as well. This leaves little room for speakers. Most HDTVs today have speakers that put out no more than 20 watts, most without a subwoofer. Many people want more out of their HDTV’s audio, and they can with a simple solution called a Sound Bar (or SoundBar). A soundbar consists of a horizontal bar of speakers than can provide virtual surround sound, and many have subwoofers. They have minimal wiring compared to full surround sound systems. Soundbars also put out a much higher output (wattage) than the tiny built in speakers on most HDTVs. Below are the top rated (by consumers) soundbars, grouped by price.
