I bought a sound bar... now the sound is just louder. I looked at the Bose 2 speaker system, but I really don't know. Best Buy claims for $100 they will send a Geek over to evaluate your room and then, if you buy from them-- that gets credited back towards your purchase.... any advice????????????

Don't do the BestBuy thing. You can educate yourself easily here and save that $100 towards setting up your audio. First, do not go with Bose, they are overpriced for their performance. Next, what is your budget? We can go from there and suggest much better options than the soundbar you currently have, all without upsetting the wife.
