My TV lacks some punch, so I want a soundbar.
I'm not really an audio visual techie, so don't want something state of the art, pure or complicated.

Soundbars seem an easy option.

My mate was showing his Sonos Playbar to me. I thought it was pretty cool as he could control bluetooth music through it too, but what struck me was the size of it and how it just sat infront of the tv, hiding the bottom edge of the tv and stand/feet

I'll post a pic of my lounge, tv unit

Have you thought about a soundbase/sound plinth? TV basically sits on top of it.
what something like Bose Solo?

Get some thing like this....put soundbar on the shelf on the shelp below the tv. If the soundbar is black then you'll hardly notice it.



Edit...Awaiting your pics but I guess the above isn't an option.
doh, forgot about the picture, but our tv unit is a match to our console unit so not an option

will try pic tonight

What you can't see is just right of the TV and the wall is a another window

is your tv fixed, but can it swivel on a mount?

just the brackets will/ might be visible from the other sofa (not in picture)

I have the Sonos soundbar sitting right in front of my tv on the cabinet. I don't think it looks at all ugly. In fact I think it looks quite good!
photo please?
