    Which Vizio do you have? I am looking at this one, mainly because of the slim sub.

      I'm not sure, probably the bottom of line version. It's 2+ years old. I wanted one without a sub due the tv and location I hooked it up to.

        Btw, the Samsung soundbar is the same price on Amazon. With Prime, it's a slightly better deal than Costco. It looks like you may be able to find something better on Amazon anyway beyond that Samsung model.
        Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

          I was looking at this one on Amazon, but I can't tell if its an upgraded model or what. Very similar.

            I think it's the exact same. I would see what Yamaha offers on Amazon. There's also also a better Samsung that's around $220 down from $380.

              Also look at B&H Photo, those Orthodox Jews have a pretty awesome online store.

                    Dude you work 7.1 days a month, when you're busy. Not all of us can send our wife off to the office, then sit home and watch movies and make bread all day long.

                      Only my outdoor theater has 7.1. Have to live with 5.1 everywhere else.

                      Listen, I get it, in a shared-wall home/apartment you have to settle for crappy audio.

                        The upstairs, and downstairs, neighbors get pissed if the volume goes past 14. Does smoking make your hearing better?

                          Most major receiver manufacturers use a scale from 1 to 100 now. FYI.

                          Does your boombox have one cassette deck or two?

                            I have a mid tier Yamaha receiver, hardly ever use it. When kids are dealing with the TV, simpler is better, but TV speakers are awful. Soundbars are somewhere in between the terrible TV speakers and a full blown 7.1 system. You avoid the complexity of having a separate receiver with a ton of settings to mess with, but the sound isn't as good.

                              My kids aren't too dumb to operate a sound system... a task that basically consists of two things: 1) turning the power to the receiver on, and 2) selecting the appropriate A/V input.

                                Maybe I'm just cheap, but I slapped on a pair of 10w computer speakers and just plugged them into the TV. The TV itself controls the level of the sound, while the tinny speakers that are in the TV go silent. Works well for my purposes. Can even mount them to the wall.
