Both are good solutions for home entertainment enthusiasts, and offer different priorities. On the one hand, you\u2019ve got affordable and smaller scale solutions in sound bars, and on the other hand, you\u2019ve got complete home entertainment overhauls in home theatre systems.\u00a0<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So do you bite the bullet and go straight to the top shelf with a home theatre system, or do you start small and work your way up with a sound bar? Here\u2019s what we think.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A sound bar or home theatre could offer a huge boost to your viewing<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re only just entering the market for home entertainment upgrades, you probably use your TV\u2019s speakers for sound. While television technology has come a long way, standard <a title=\"Home Theatre Speakers\" href=\"\/news\/tips-and-advice\/the-best-home-theatre-speaker-systems-for-your-home\/\">speakers<\/a> don\u2019t always offer the highest standard of sound quality, and sound bars are a great way to test another option. They\u2019re easy to manage and install, aren\u2019t too big, and can offer terrific sound quality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Essentially, sound bars are a great entry-level option. But if you\u2019re looking for something of higher sound quality still, then a home theatre could be a better choice. They\u2019re customisable, too, so you can opt for smaller and more manageable options if you\u2019re stretched for space.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Home theatre vs sound bar: what advantages does home theatre sound have to offer?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve looked into it, you\u2019re probably aware that complete home theatre solutions are more expensive than sound bars. So what do they have to offer in return? Well, that depends on the option you choose. Most home theatre systems include a number of speakers positioned around the room, offering surround sound, which is something that singular sound bars can\u2019t offer. If you choose more advanced home theatre models, you can also enjoy quality bass with a subwoofer thrown into the mix (although some sound bars include this too), which pump out deep tones with far greater power than standard television speakers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If cost is your biggest priority here\u2019s how to choose between a sound bar or home theatre\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s take a look at cost. Even at the lower end, home theatres can be expensive, so a sound bar will be a better option if you\u2019re looking for a cost-effective solution. You may be surprised at the improvement a sound bar can offer your entertainment experience when compared to standard TV speakers. Economically speaking, we would recommend improving your home theatre space incrementally to avoid overspending.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you go with a sound bar or a home theatre, it\u2019s important that you select a quality model<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you choose a sound bar or a home theatre, quality is important. If you\u2019ve reached a sound bar vs home theatre stalemate, we would recommend that you chat to the experts to work out which option offers the highest quality. There\u2019s no use getting a poor-quality home theatre system when you could have purchased a high-end sound bar for the same price.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you can\u2019t decide between a sound bar or a home theatre \u2013 talk to the experts!<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With so much to consider when choosing between a sound bar and a home theatre, it can be hard to make a decision. So get in touch with the home entertainment professionals. We\u2019ve only covered the major points here; there\u2019s far more to consider, including space, expertise, viewing preferences, and more.
