I'll stick to a true surround sound system thanks. I understand the fact that sound bars are way better then TV speakers, and hell yeah they are.

Why yes music does sound epic on a surround sound system. That's one of the things I did when testing the Bose Lifestyle V35. I played music on it. It's cool how since it splits the audio among the 5 speakers, you get a lot more detail. I played Tik Tok on it. -Original Message- From: Pc-a

I'd say (and granted I don't know as much about it as you all do) but I'd say that the soundbar would work in situations where surround sound just isn't really practical; let's say maybe the room somehow just doesn't allow for surround sound for whatever reason! In this case, then the soundbar wou

Hi Howard, Older televisions typically had enough speaker enclosure and did not require something like a sound bar. The newer flat screen models are the ones we speak of, and most if not all have multiple modes of input and output, making it a simple matter of plugging in a stereo cable or HDM
