Not exactly PC hardware, but better here than the meeting place.

Does anyone have any thoughts or experience of soundbars - those long affairs to go under the TV and give pseudo surround sound. Got some fairly good 5.1s, but never put in the back pair, reluctant to have wires trailing.

Otherwise, any idea if you can get some sort of wireless repeater for the rears that isn't laggy(if that's the right word)

Topic moved to Hi-Fi & AV.

The yamaha soundbars aren't bad but you pay for it.

I don't like wireless for audio streams as they all sound a bit pants.

Personally I'd just run the cables for the rears (I ended up running some small trunking above the skirting board & it looks OK.
You can also get retrofit moulding to go over skirting boards that has a cable channel
