Well, Escapist, it's been quite a while but(TLR)
...so I'll soon be living in an apartment that is smaller than 750 sq ft, and the living area will be fairly small. I have never augmented my TV's sound (except for a crappy lo-fi stereo when I was small).
I have heard that Surround is simply too much sound for an apartment (unless you crave eviction). Is this true?
What are your thoughts? Is the simulated surround of a good sound bar good enough for FPSs, third person adventures, survival horror and driving/flying simulations, or do I need the "real thing?" And can you recommend any bars or systems for under $500?
Thanks.
