Buying New TV Need A Soundbar Recommendation

Although active 2-channel speaker option is supposed to be preferrable to the soundbar, the OP granting his best half's wishes is far more correct decision.  Happy wife, happy life.  Good luck.

All I am saying is that the Mrs may have a preference.
(Mine did not abide a sound bar.)

There's a company out of France and I cannot remember their name. The speaker was round with a woofer in the center. Like the iris in an eyeball. It sounded great. The dealer told me that they were to come out with a soundbar soon. I can call the dealer and get the name of the company.

On the cheap, the Yamaha sound bars are good. I use the clear voice option because I have trouble with dialogue. I play a lot of silent film and the music accompaniment sounds fine. Though the eyeball would be considerably better.

I wonder about this, or the lower price 300.

Seems to check a lot of boxes.

I hope you share what you find out about the sound bar you decide on.  I know someone who is also interested in one.

FYI  I recently bought a LG C1 TV.  I Had a problem getting the apps to load/work properly until I disconnected the eARC HDMI cable connected to my Denon AVR.  Maybe, it was something to do with the Denon, because it was kind of old.  Hope this saves you some headaches if you encounter the same problem.
