Stick to your television's built-in speakers or set up a pair of floorstanders/bookshelves.]]>May 29th 2009 12:04AMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/28/hands-on-samsungs-ht-ws1-soundbar/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/28/hands-on-samsungs-ht-ws1-soundbar/
What if your TV speakers are terrible?
What if you don't have a receiver (or want to buy one) that fits into your setup?
What if you want to keep your setup low on clutter and devices?

You really don't understand why 'anyone'? or you?]]>May 29th 2009 10:17AMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/28/hands-on-samsungs-ht-ws1-soundbar/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/28/hands-on-samsungs-ht-ws1-soundbar/May 29th 2009 4:18PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/28/hands-on-samsungs-ht-ws1-soundbar/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/28/hands-on-samsungs-ht-ws1-soundbar/Jun 3rd 2009 11:02PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/28/hands-on-samsungs-ht-ws1-soundbar/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/28/hands-on-samsungs-ht-ws1-soundbar/Jun 5th 2009 7:34PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/28/hands-on-samsungs-ht-ws1-soundbar/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/28/hands-on-samsungs-ht-ws1-soundbar/Jun 10th 2009 1:18AMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/28/hands-on-samsungs-ht-ws1-soundbar/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/28/hands-on-samsungs-ht-ws1-soundbar/
1. Why get a soundbar? The reply above noted it best...reduce clutter, improve a terrible built in speaker, and honestly, I am not going to put in a receiver, etc. The soundbar is terrific is size and shape and for what it does, it's an upgrade from the in-set speaker!

2. Sound? Again, it's not a bookshelf set up but I do not want a cluttered look. Any bookshelf system is going to have some type of amp...this set up improves sound without adding the bulk.

3. Noisy subwoofer. Yep. That part is true. It must be the fan cooling it. I hear this hum but only after shutting off the system. I will try a different outlet to see if that helps. It just might be the fan. I have not had the sub drop-outs others mentioned or where it goes on/off by itself.

4. Overall. Nice addition. Just remember what you are getting and it's not a full true surround system by any stretch.

The system light under the center is quite bright in a dark room. Any way to turn it off? The TV allows you to turn off the accent lighting. It seems the accent lighting comes on after using the system and shutting it down. Any way to turn off that light?

I did some serious listening today and honestly, I thought it was pretty good. I am no expert mind you but it was clear, loud, and did what I needed it to do.]]>Jun 15th 2009 2:00PM
