    Howdy,

    I'm looking for a basic soundbar to use with a 32" screen in the bedroom. It needs to be wall mountable easily and unobtrusive.
    I mostly use a WDTV Live for this TV.

    Budget is low sadly (blew too much on the Pioneer reciever and speakers with you guys after christmas) around €100ish inc delivery to Dublin.

    Any words of wisdom from the AV wizards?

    Thanks in advance.

    Ionised,

    thanks for the post, the closest to your target with decent quality would probably be the Philips HTL2100 at £79.95 / €99.99 but unfortunately the delivery would push it to €109.99 - its still a great bar for the money with both coax and optical digital connections - have a look here:

    Here is teh user manual for your info:http://download.p4c.philips.com/files/h/htl2100_12/htl2100_12_dfu_aen.pdf


    If you could stretch to it the Roth Sub Zero 2 has now been reduced and I can do an even better Boardie special on it to take it to just £114.99 / €139.99 and with shipping that would be €149.99: http://www.richersounds.com/product/soundbars/roth/sub-zero-ii/roth-sub-zero-ii

    The Roth adds Bluetooth (APy-X) connectivity and two 3.5mm analogue inputs to the optical input and it comes with a wall mount kit included.

    Thanks again and keep us posted if any of these grab your fancy,

    ATVB,

    Thanks for the rapid response.

    My wallet will curse you for suggesting the Roth.  Reading reviews it is looking like the best choice and to hell with the budget. I'll PM my phone details so if you want to get one of your team to call we can sort out the painful process of payment!

    Thanks again for the advice.

    Delivered yesterday and set up this morning.

    Very inpressive sound quality for the size...better than I could have hoped for to be honest.

    Thanks for the help and advice.
