I have a Sony soundbar with a separate, floor standing, Bass unit. If you have a good screen then good bass, I mean really good bass, gives it a cinematic feel. Play the THX Intro on YouTube and you’ll know what I mean. My neighbours love it too!
Many churches have a bible that the church want’s you to believe without question. Which is known as faith. It is better to question everything.
