Soundbars

Your TV sounds like a laptop. Fixable.

Flat TVs traded speakers for looks. A soundbar under the screen buys the sound back, and hanging it right starts at $69.

The honest version

The cheapest real upgrade in AV

Sixty-nine dollars gets it mounted under the TV, level with it, wired, hooked up and proven before we leave. Movie night sounds like movie night.

Still in the box from Christmas? Bring it out. We fit yours as happily as one of ours, and if the bar you're eyeing is overpriced for the room, we'll say so on the call.

What moves the price

Stone, cords,
bar size

Brick or stone under a fireplace TV, cords hidden in the wall, the extra-long bars. Priced on the call, before we drive.

Call for an exact quote — a real person (or Beau) answers 24/7.

Large rubble-stone fireplace with a TV and soundbar mounted flush to the stone — Rubble stone, TV and bar flush to it. Every anchor in stone, none in mortar.

Fireplaces too

Yes, on the stone

Half the soundbars we hang go under a fireplace TV, straight into limestone or brick. Same rule as every anchor we set: into the stone, never the mortar. Stone holds.

Already have the TV up there and hate the sound? That's a one-visit fix, and the fireplace page shows the walls we do it on.

Questions

Straight answers

How much does it cost to mount a soundbar?

It starts at $69, mounted and hooked up, and folding it into a TV-mount visit makes it one trip. The exact number depends on the bar, the wall and the cords, and you'll have it on the call before we drive.

Can you mount a soundbar on stone or brick?

Yes, and we do it weekly under fireplace TVs. The anchors go into the stone itself, never the mortar. Mortar crumbles. Stone holds.

Will a soundbar work with my TV?

Almost certainly. Most TVs from the last decade connect with one HDMI cable, older sets use optical, and we carry both. It's working and tested before we pack up, or we haven't finished.

Do I need surround sound instead?

Usually not. A decent bar fixes most of what people hate about TV sound. If you're building a movie room, that's a different job and a fun one — ask on the call and we'll tell you straight which one your room wants.
