Whats the current thinking of OZBargain and soundbars + subwoofer?
I'm in an apartment and like the idea of a small device to play music on. But are they very compromised in sound quality compared to a 2.1 setup in similar price range (~1k including AMP).
I'm mainly interested in playing music via bluetooth (spotify) and watching TV.
If you don't care too much about bass, and you want voice assistant capability, then the Beam + 2 Ones/Play1's could work within your budget if you wait for 10-20% off sales.
Great deal here on sonos. Beam for $479. The bass is pretty decent on this alone.
You can always add a sub and surrounds later if you wish.
are they very compromised in sound quality compared to a 2.1 setup
Yes.
Depends how serious with your music you are. You could easily get a decent set of bookshelves and an amp, that will sound better than a soundbar, for half that budget.
Hmmm, ok thanks. I might have to start researching decent bookshelves speakers + sub.
This would be better than almost any soundbar, especially around the price range.

I'd agree with Sonos as well. You can go the cheaper beam and a couple of One's, then add a sub later if you want. Otherwise a Playbase/bar would give you some decent sound, then probably wouldn't need a sub later but maybe a pair of One's
Been very impressed with the sound from a Sonos One inside an apartment. If you add the beam + 2 Ones, is it easy to have TV through Beam but music coming from the Ones?

I've got my speakers and beam set up to all come on together so I haven't tried to seperate them.
I know you can choose a room for each One so I don't see why you couldn't, but I don't see why you'd want to either if it's in the same room?
That was meant to be a reply to you not a new comment
I live in an apartment and own Sonos Playbar and Subwoofer. Bought it for tad bit less than $1300. Very high quality bass and sound. If you can stretch your budget, this'll be the best option.
