Sony Bravia owners - what's the best soundbar for sony bravia tv that doesn't break the bank?
Just upgraded to a 65" Bravia after my 10-year-old Samsung finally died, and WOW the picture quality! But... the sound is so thin it's like listening through a tin can.
Tried cranking volume but dialogue still muffled while explosions blow out my eardrums. Living in apartment so full surround system means angry neighbors. Need something that actually works seamlessly with Bravia and makes dialogue clearer without maxing volume.
Don't want something requiring 37 cables and PhD to install either. Budget is tight after splurging on the TV itself, and whatever I get needs girlfriend approval on aesthetics. Our living room is ~15×18 ft with open concept to kitchen. Mostly watching movies, some gaming, and sports on weekends. Any real-world recommendations from actual owners?

counterpoint - spent 30 min hiding cables and saved $200+ versus comparable soundbar. Worth the effort
