You'll spend a lot more money buying cheap soundbars practically every 1-2 years then just buying one good soundbar that going to last a long time, and you can purchase an extended warranty if something goes wrong with it, then you won't have to buy another soundbar.

Doesn't have to be fantastic high quality, it just needs to sound natural. The previous one I had was under $100 and it lasted 6 years and didn't make voices sound flat and overpowered by the background noise... and didn't sound worse than a phone or computer and didn't sound like it was somebody talking through something metallic in another room. This one almost sounds like it should be mono and not stereo.

If you want just a basic 2-channel soundbar to amplify the audio from you TV, this LG soundbar seems pretty good: With only $20.00 more you can buy an extended 4 year warranty, which I think its well worth it. Including the manufacturer's 1 year warranty, you'll have a total of 5 years of coverage. The extended warranty will not go into effect until after the manufacturer's warranty has expired. If something goes wrong with it within 5 years, you can return it, and If it can't be repaired (which I don't think Best Buy will do since the speaker only cost $90.00, and the labor will cost approximately the same or more) they'll just give you a brand new soundbar.

I got the Samsung HW-Q60T 5.1ch Soundbar recently with my new ultra short throw projector and I've been very happy with the sound from that.
