So, my setup is a NUC connected to a projector and a Logitech UE Roll 360. Given the speaker, audio quality is not going to be that good, but I can hear the dialogue clearly. It (speaker) is setting about 4 feet away from me.
I recently picked up a soundbar (Yamaha ATS-1070). It is about 12 feet away from where I sit. It's difficult to hear the audio, and if I turn it up to hear it clearly, then when the shooting starts it is too loud. It is probably a disturbance to the neighbors. I can't move the soundbar closer because it will be an object for tripping over.
What options do you recommend? I'd like to keep things under $200. There is no receiver so the audio is going via a 3.5mm cable from the NUC. It'll be for movie/TV/sports. I'm not an audiophile so I am not looking for perfect sound. On my PC, I have a set of Harman Kardon soundsticks and they sound great. I'm limited because I can't blast the audio in my apartment, no rumbling bass, so I think that means I need to physically have the speaker closer to me so I don't need to turn the volume up so high. This is fine because it's just me in the apartment. I just need something that is better sounding than the UE Roll I'm using.
Thank you.
