I have a 26in TV in my kitchen. The sound is so bad/low....it's like the commercial. :grin:
I'd like to put some speakers on it, but the space is small, so the speakers have to be small. powered is fine/good. wondered if anyone had any recs?
I know this is not really computer, but it's kind of tech.
-
I'm guessing a sound bar is a bit much?
-
if it was small. I have a surround sound system in the LR, but that's way to much for the kitchen.
-
What kind of ouputs do you have on your tv Kathy? Anything digital or a analog speaker jack?
-
analog. I have had this for awhile, just finally fed up with trying to watch it over the sound of cooking food :-D
I have speakers from another sound system and plugged them in, but no joy. I am thinking I need a powered set to make this work properly?
-
Most likely the tv only sends signal and you will need something powered.
-
that's my thought. I might try to set up this surround sound system I have and see if I can make it fit. I have an old PS2 under it now for DVD play, but don't use it much. could swap it for the control box and see how that works. It's a 5 speaker system, so it will probably blow me out of the kitchen :-D

The solution turned out to be a compromise. I couldn't find what I wanted that would fit in the space, or wouldn't cost 100s of dollars.
What I did find was a nice little little waterproof/bluetooth/usb powered/ plugs into speaker jack, speaker.
It's not a total fix, but the sound from this speaker is much better than from the TV when I have to turn it up. + it's small, so it fits in the space.
Thanks to the Best Buy guy who really knew what was in the store and helped me weed though a bunch of stuff to find this little gem.

Now you can listen to tv. Whats next late nights watching radio/ :cheesy:
Glad you found something suitable.
