Philips soundbars are a great choice for any wallet.

The soundbar is a system that enhances the sound capabilities of the TV. Its main difference from traditional acoustic systems is that the use of the soundbar does not involve the use of several speakers interconnected by wires, and involves the participation of only two blocks - a monoblock and a subwoofer. Philips Soundbar (Philips) is one of the most prominent representatives of this series of devices.

The monoblock shape should match the shape of the TV, and taking into account that most modern TVs are flat panel, the monoblock should be an elongated enough device that has a shallow depth and height. Since such a design is unlikely to accommodate the necessary dynamics, the second component is required - subwoofer.
