Though I'd post this here. Cheapest seen, purchased today and the sound quality for the price blows me away. A friend recently purchased an LG soundbar with built in sub for just under £100 and it doesn't come anywhere close to this.
Priced between £69.99 and £120+ elsewhere.
HDMI ARC works perfectly. I did have to reset it once, but it's working perfect now!
It did also need a firmware update :smiley:
The HTL2163B SoundBar has been designed by Philips to deliver a deep, faithful, room-filling sound that will enrich your home entertainment experience.
The 120-watt SoundBar has an elegant low-rise profile that blends seamlessly into any home décor. No need to purchase extra speakers, the virtual surround sound uses spatial algorithms to deliver the same sonic characteristics that occur when using 5.1 Dolby® Digital Surround Sound. Furthermore, you can enjoy an immersive experience with the external subwoofer, delivering thunderous explosions and warm deep bass.
With Bluetooth® connectivity, you can connect and stream audio from all compatible devices without the inconvenience of cables. The Philips HTL2163B is compatible with TVs, BD/DVD players, gaming consoles, MP3 players and many other audio entertainment devices. The HTL2163B also supports USB connectivity, so you can enjoy content straight from your USB device with seamless playback through the soundbar's high quality speakers. With the line and auxiliary inputs, you can enjoy your favourite music with a single cable, using your iPod, iPhone or any other music player.
cheers will take a look at this. recently purchased an lg 55" 4k tv which can't sit on my maxell 160w soundbase due to the feet position, so looking for an alternative. any other recommendations under the £100 mark most welcome
