Backyard sound specialists Terra showed what I thought was the coolest outdoor speaker at the Expo: the LuminSound LS.32, a combination of a waterproof speaker with an LED light. Behind the grille lies a coaxial speaker with a 5.25-inch aluminum ceramic woofer and a 0.75-inch aluminum tweeter. You can order the LS.32 with the LED pointing up or down, or both up- and down-firing LEDs. A pipe driven into the ground keeps the speaker upright. Prices will run about $700 to $800 each depending on options. That flying-saucer-lookin’ thing is the AC.Sub, which can fill out the sound of the LS.32. Just the stuff for that resort-style pool you’ve been planning.

Brent,
I've been reading the various soundbar reviews on this site trying to decide between a few different soundbars. I'm at a loss though on and need some expert advice.
I was debating between the ZVOX 580 and the BA TVee 30. Then I found comments for the upcoming PowerBar 235.
I'm no audiophile, and cost is a factor. However, I'm willing to spend a bit more on to get quality and a good user experience. That being said, I don't know which of these 3 is my best option. I'm using mainly for movies and tv, though will likely listen to some audio CDs (or my wife will).
The ZVOX cost is half that of the PowerBar, though the PowerBar is "higher end". The BA is a bit more than the ZVOX, but I've read poor reviews regarding customer service. Any recommendations or guidance?
Much appreciated.
Thanks,
