Short and sweet thread this one!

I'm short on space, I haven't got much to spend, but need a soundbar as I am sick of the crap sound from my TV.

Can anyone beat this, which I am very close to pulling the trigger on?

I wanted the 101 actually, but sadly it's too big. frown

The reason it needs to be small is I have nowhere to put it, except on the top level of the TV stand. I foolishly bought this a few years ago:

The shelve are 70cm wide, and the top one has a DVD player on it. Sadly I don't have the cash at the moment to buy a new stand. frown

I just purchased a samsung hwe350 from richer sounds for my bedroom would recommend def improve the sound of my tv although I would advise it is not a substitute for 5.1 speakers but it does what I intended it to do so cant complain.

Can't find the Teac in the UK, and the Samsung is fractionally too big. frown

Orbitsound do a larger version which also has rave reviews:

You pay a premium for Bose. Suggest that you carefully research Yamaha for the best sound that will fit your budget and space. You will also need a sub-woofer. You may want to have a look on eBay, as sound bars do appear on there too...
Good luck!
