I had a surround sound unit for our 55" TV. Didn't like having to mess with multiple remotes to watch TV. TV speakers are not bad. I can't blast the sound but for regular TV they are ok.
My biggest pet peeve is those darn commercials that bump up the volume when they come one. Volume was where I wanted it then some commercial has to blast my space with their sound. Arrrggg. So now I enjoy DVRing a lot of the TV we watch and fast forward through commercials.... all using the built in speakers.
Doc, I hear you on that one. Congress was supposed to end loud commercials, but I think all that was just pillow talk. You know, a pipe dream!! Commercials on TV are still LOUD!!I had a surround sound unit for our 55" TV. Didn't like having to mess with multiple remotes to watch TV. TV speakers are not bad.

I thought this was just a thing in my country only. Commercials are extremely loud. But the private TV channels too are extremely loud. In my country anyone is free to torture others with any kind of loud noise. Laws are there but only in the book.Doc, I hear you on that one.

I bought this Polk system for the TV in the living room, but haven't set it up yet. Had it for about 2 years. It's still in the box!!!! Just haven't gotten around to it yet!!!

Sounds like a plan. Why wouldn't ya?Actually, it was supposed to be for a new (smart) TV, but the present one is still working!! Had it for about 13 years now, & it hasn't stopped working, so I might as well hook it up to THIS one.
