Home Cinema / Soundbar recommendation

    Hi,

    I recently bought a Sony KDL55W829 and would like to get either a soundbar or home cinema system to complement it.

    With a budget of about 300€ (but I'm OK with paying less :P) the only limitations other than space are:
    * Speakers have to have stands because I have nowhere to put them (soundbar has to fit in front of the TV).
    * Rear speakers (if any) need to be wireless.
    * I would love it if whatever it is, supported HDMI-ARC or provided similar functionality so I don't have to control it separately from the TV.

    Do you guys have any good recommendations?

    Hi Realkhai.

    Thanks for coming back to us.

    Going on your specs, it puts 5.1 home cinema setup out as we have no options with wireless rear speakers unfortunately.

    Most soundbars around the 300 Euro mark operate using optical rather than HDMI.
    You will still have to use the soundbars own remote to control volume etc.

    You could look at the JBL Cinema SB400 (5 Star review What HiFi) currently priced at £249.95 / 347.99 Euro (Inc Delivery) - Would tick all the boxes.

    This is a very good sounding soundbar and with the wireless sub gives a more depth for movies.

    Let me know what you think, any questions please ask.
