Soundbars have stolen the thunder from home-theater-in-a-box systems of late; too bad the little woofers that come with soundbars can’t actually reproduce that thunder. Fortunately, U.K. speaker company Wharfedale is battling back with the DX-1, a beautifully crafted little 5.1 system for $799. The DX-1 includes four 7.6-inch-high two-way satellites, a tiny center speaker and an 8-inch subwoofer with a 150-watt digital amp. Wharfedale didn’t play the DX-1, but if it’s 25% as good as the new Jade 3 tower speaker that they did play, budget home theater fanatics will be ecstatic.
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,
--Hummad
