Budget sound bar review
Posted by meauxjeaux2 on 9/3/14 at 8:12 pm20
Vizio s4251w-b4 5.1 surround sound system.
Blue tooth
I chose this over Pioneer and Sonos sound bars.
The sub is blue tooth wireless and the rear speakers connect to the sub.
I have had it for 5 days now and my impression level is off the charts.
Would highly recommend this product.

I just picked up an Energy soundbar. It's insane.

interesting...I have been thinking about getting a sound bar...
does this plug directly into your tv or do you have to get some kind of tuner to use it?....

Sonos is not a "budget" soundbar

Comes with everything included. I choose the optical cable that plugs directly into my tv. Remote can be programmed to work off your own remote. Very easy setup. My Direct TV remote now controls my soundbar.

Sorry if I inferred as much. I listened to all of them and this Vizio beat even the big boy pioneer and Sonos soundbars.
The 5.1 is the winner here.

how'd you scam walmarks out of it, mj2?
re: Budget sound bar reviewPosted by BACONisMEATcandy on 9/3/14 at 8:23 pm to meauxjeaux2
No worries... Sonos has great sound quality but it's main feature is connecting to multiple or the same things throughout your house
Fwiw I've had my samsung soundbar for over 3 years and have been very happy with it

Damn solid memory there bro.
Got it on Amazon prime for $249.
I feel like I scammed them after hearing how good it sounds.

I do love the Sonos products. Way to poor to afford.

Mee too sadly

Buddy of mine has his multi million dollar camp completely covered with Sonos. 6 different zones including the dog kennels.

Let me know if he needs anymore friends
re: Budget sound bar reviewPosted by meauxjeaux2 on 9/3/14 at 8:33 pm to BACONisMEATcandy
Haha. He's the brother in law of one of my best friends. Not really a friend of mine but I get to take advantage.

Those are the best kind

Sonos and Pioneer are not the "big boys" of soundbars. They are mid-fi at best.
I'm glad you are happy with your purchase.

One is $699 the other is $549.
Not exactly audiophile sound bars but a true audiophile would never own a sound bar.
So....

I have an earlier model from Vizio. Love it. Comes on with volume button on my cable remote. I can hear dialogue now.

You'll find some that like a center channel speaker that's not terribly large, like the B&W htm4. It's passive, bulkier, and pricier than just about anything commonly referred to as a "soundbar," but I have seen them go used down near $800 on audiogon before. Much more commonly you'll see them around $1200. But I would think they're are very few audiophiles that start with center-channel, mono sound as the root of their system.
ETA: there are plenty of cheaper passive center channel speakers (excluding your HTIB parts), but I chose the cheapest one that was B&W 8-series because of the series' practically universal respect from the audiophile world.
