I have a record player I’m currently using a jbl charge 3 as a speaker for, and I really want to upgrade my sound setup because my car is better than my house. The problem is I’m in about a 1200 sq ft house, and there’s not a ton of room in any room. Any ideas on how to pimp out an audio setup without too much floor space?

    I’m not trying to come at you personally, but I’m an audio enthusiast and I can say definitively that sound bars are complete trash. Even high-end like Harman Kardon, you just cannot produce quality sound with those dinky speakers.

      I’m with you on this. Soundbars made great progress, but the great ones are still great “soundbars”.

      If you have the space, go 2.1 bookshelves instead of soundbar+sub.

        Yes please do what this person says… And well, myself too lol

        It’s not wine snobbery or anything like that, it’s just physics. No matter how good a quality a sound bar is made, you have small speakers, and you simply cannot create the full range of sound frequencies.

        There are fabulous three-way bookshelf speakers that you can supplement with a sub

        We all get used to whatever we’re listening to in a moment, but our audio life does not have to sound like a talking greeting card, it can be so much better with just a little bit of trying
