As LED, LCD, Plasma’s and now OLED TV’s get thinner the one thing that gets left behind is the sound. Samsung has there ES8000 series TV sitting at 1.2”, LG has the LM8600 at 1.3” and OLED’s are going to be around 3/16”. Where can you put a speaker on something that is 3/16”? The answer is nowhere. Samsung ES8000 at 1.2” has 2 speakers that are 10W each. How do you get anything decent out of a 10W speaker? The answer is you can’t. Now Mitsubishi had there Unisen line that had a built in sound bar with the option of a wireless subwoofer but they have been discontinued:(. So you have to go a different route if you want to have good sound. There are 2 choices, a full surround sound / home theater system or a sound bar.
Sound Bar’s
Sound bars come in a lot of different forms. Samsung has one that fits the design of there TV and will run you upwards of $400. Yamaha’s sound bar can run all the way up to $2,099.99. How do you choose? First what are you looking for? Do you want a sound bar that will give you the best surround sound effect or just improve the sound coming from the TV? Most of our clients just want a sound better then what the TV is giving. We recommend the Boston Acoustic TVEEM20B. We recommend this with no bias. We install but do not sell Boston Acoustic. In every instance that we have recommended this and a client has gone with it they have been very happy with its performance. The TVEEM20B also comes with a wireless subwoofer. In the instance that design is more important than sound go to your TV manufacturers website and see if they have a sound bar that is specifically designed for your TV.
Surround Sound / Home Theater System
No one can ever say that a full surround sound system can be beat with a sound bar unless you compare a 200 dollar surround system to a 2000 dollar sound bar. Now surround sound systems and home theater systems can be costly but they do not have to be in order to get the sound you need. Need is the key word. Want is a whole other story. For example I want a McIntosh surround sound system paired with B&W Nautilus but I do not have a cool half million laying around. So we move on. You do not have to go that far to get what is good or what you need and yes you can have a little of both and even more of what you want. The thing to remember is what fit best with your home. Whether it is flush mounted speakers or towers. I have to admit I am a big Denon fan and we recommend the Denon AVR1912 the most, and yes we do sell Denon. As for speakers we recommend Paradigm (we do not sell anymore), Monitor Audio (we do sell), Polk Audio (we do sell) and Pinnacle (we do sell).

You can read reviews for the Logitech G51 Surround Sound 5 1 Speaker System on Amazon.I was a liltte reluctant to purchase another set of Logitech speakers. My first set, the Z-560, worked well, but one of the channels burned out about 16 months after I purchased them.My second set, the Z-680, sounded great but had a fatal flaw: HISSSSSS. I had to have a box fan going in the room to drown out the constant hissing. It finally drove me to seeking another set, and I desperately sought out a non-Logitech set of speakers. Sadly, in my narrow price range, there were no alternatives that I can find.With some relucatance I ordered the G51. I set them up yesterday, and so far I’m very pleased with them. The soul-searing hiss present on the z-680 is mercifully gone, and the system sounds excellent. The bass is sufficient without being overpowering (provided you turn it down a notch or two from the default setting), and the control pod is sensibly sized and sports a great, logically laid out interface. Mids and highs are perfectly acceptable for a relatively cheap computer speaker set.The matrix mode works surprisingly well (though I think it’s likely nothing that revolutionary, just a re-imaging if their existing stero x2 mode) for both games and music.I don’t have plans to use the silly patent pending mod system’ (pretty much just a piece of transparent plastic to slip printed designs into), but if you do want to pimp your rig’ then I suppose the option is there.Here’s a couple of tips for the new G51 users:1) Take off those grills on the speakers! They are *not* acoustically transparent, and in my ears the highs opened up a bit after removing them. Just be careful not to poke anything into the exposed speaker drivers!2) BE CAREFUL if you mount the center channel on your LCD screen; I cringed when I read the instructions to tighten the hinge screw’ this is applying pressure to your LCD monitor. If you over tighten you might experience the pleasure of cracking your LCD screen in half. I simply placed mine on top and used a liltte double sided tape on the base I’d rather have a slightly loose center channel than a pair of non-functioning 11 flat screen monitors.
