No Home Theater System here. Poor freelancer, but I'm the happiest person on the planet earth watching a Seinfeld episode on my Iphone while taking a shit.

Does the center "bar" really elaborate the sound? I've seen some but I'm not a believer yet. And does it just pull from the TV?

can't go wrong with Bose
- I feel that the sound, while pleasant, is quite "colored" (in the sense that they equalize it, not a racist way)monospaced
- I beg to differ with this post. You can sometimes go VERY wrong with Bose.ETM
- Bose is famous for having a flat sound.akrok

If you are going for it. Dont fuck about.
Go BOSE - you'll never, ever look back... EVER
Plus it's the official audio partner of the NFL.
I only actually turn mine on on Sundays whilst drinking Bud Light - the official beer of the NFL...
Hopefully I made some money here endorsing cool stuff!!
- Bose = SHIT sound, btwmonospaced
- "official audio partner of the NFL" doesn't give any credit to their sound, eithermonospaced
- So, essentially, Bose is the "Bud Light" of audio. Fucking LOL.monospaced

@center bar - actually it sounds really good. but it depends on your room. it uses the walls in your room to bounce sound off of and create the surround feeling. i had a 5.1 set up but my apartment is small and i was tired of looking at all those speakers all over the place.
the bar comes with a microphone for initial set up. it plays some audible tones and the mic tells the system how it should set up different frequencies. it's pretty dope. GREAT for video games.
- oh yea, i forgot, i'm still using the old sony subwoofer attached to my yamaha sound bar. works perfect.anxiousarms

I am looking for a: sleek, well designed, good sounding home theater system/soundbar with bluetooth connectivity for my iPhone, any good suggestions for under $300-?
- get a receiver with inputs and a nice pair of speakersmonospaced

The easiest way to add "iPhone" connectivity to ANY home theater system (in my opinion) is to add the Apple TV. It allows wireless streaming of most content from any iOS device (and even Macs) on the network. Plus it adds sleek access to other streaming. I prefer this much more to finding a device with a dock or separate AirPlay or Bluetooth in a component (such as a sound bar).
- this or AirPort (express)mekk
- Only an idiot would pay for an Express when for the same price you get the Apple TVmonospaced
- don't you need airport/wireless router inorder to use Apple TV? I'm getting a nice tv and want Apple TV to show my photos...jaylarson
- you can also connect it via cable (LAN)mekk
- You should have a wireless router at this point anyway.monospaced
- I do, but I'd rather just get the "Apple system". Hopefully it simplifies the whole process of setting up WiFi.jaylarson
- your apple gizmo can't provide an internet connection, you will need your router and/or modemmekk

Finally broke down and bought a Blu-ray player the other day and set it up last night. I was right, this seems to be the only format that takes full advantage of HD gear (audio and video). For the first time I saw my receiver jump into DD TrueHD, DTS sound decoding modes, and the picture is way better than "HD" programming I receive through my television provider. Wow, I had been missing out this whole time, not taking advantage of the gear I already had. Good times.
- now go buy avatar 'n prometheus bluraysprophetone
- I rented Rise of the Planet of the Apes last night to do the setup. Good sound and visual effects to calibrate.monospaced
