    Is it any good?

    1st one has 2 x 10 watt speakers and one 30 watt subwoofer. Your TV most like has 2 x 10 watt already so would probably just add more bass I'd guess.
    As with all these Aldi ads, they never say enough in the specs. You can connect by Bluetooth but it doesn't say any other methods.
    It will probably have phono connectors so you can get the TV sound through it using the cable in the link below.

    50 quid is about standard for a product with these specs. No bargain here really.

    I'm on iPad here too. The OP just links the images of the actual speakers, no specs visible either.

    It's post No. 5 that contained the specs link.

    Is there any difference between a Soundbar and a Soundstage other than the shape? looking at description looks like the same thing.

    I thought, probably wrongly, that a sound stage was designed so your TV went on top of it. Soundbar in front of your TV/wall mounted.

    There is a difference! The Soundstage/Soundbase was designed to place the TV on top of it. The soundbar can be an issue if it is placed in front of the tv, because it blocks the on/off and channel sensor, which is a pain. I solved it by raising the soundbar slightly so that that didn't happen!

    €70 down from €170


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,209 ✭✭✭maximoose


    I'm a relative idiot when it comes to soundbars, but in need of one now as new TV is awful tinny.

    I know it's not its intended purpose, but how would one of these perform connected to TV? 80W output

    Only asking as I spotted it reduced to €35 in HMV

    Edit: ignore me, completely misread the sign on Saturday and its DOWN €32.50 not down to. Idiot.

    €97 as said below.

    Where did you see it for that price its €97.49 online, should be way better than tv can't imagine it will have much of a stereo field though in a single tower.

    It looks pretty much the same one i got, Envivo, i'll post a pic later of the box, as i'd say its the same one that's always on sale there.

    It also has an optical slot for Bluray as well.

    Yeah, the same here, its sitting on the glass table on front of tv, i thought it was the remote, but thankfully there was enough room to move it to the left.

    Some people did send them back, saying it didnt work, as that may have been the cause of it & maybe its just mine, but buttons on the RHS of the soundbar don't work for me?
