Wireless Subwoofer?

Philips HSB3280 Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer or Coby CSP96 Home Theater Speaker System?

• I am currently looking into buying a home theater system for my room, and at first I was going to look into a more powerful system but I realize I cannot have something too powerful because of the noise in my room with thin walls and neighbors nearby etc. However I was looking into both these Sound Systems (Philips Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer and Coby CSP96) and wasnt sure which to pick. The Soundbar with the woofer rlly interested me, but im not 100% sure bc i saw reviews of some ppl having difficulty or some negative comments. Likewise with the Coby CSP96. I was solely wondering which of these two is better?? I am aware Coby CSP96 is cheaper but in this case is irrelevant because with Dell I have Monetary credit that will lower the price of the Philips Significantly. Which will sound better, perform better, or overall be better??? Thank You And I Hope To Hear Your Response.

• Answer:

  Both brands are not quality brands and not very reliable. Go online to Home Theater Magazine and read the reviews on sound bars. Sound bars don't quite sound the same as if you had a separate speakers all around you. Any separate system will sound better than any sound bar any day. You just have to lower the volume. The Onkyo HT-S5200 is a separate receiver and a set of 7.1 speaker system that is worth looking at for around $500. Hope this will help you out.
