Not every media room needs (or has space for) a full surround sound system, and if you can’t set up five speakers properly, you’re best opting for a different sound solution.
Soundbars are designed to go right underneath your TV and will “bounce” sound around the room for a simulated surround sound experience. If you’re going the soundbar route, do your research: brands that really focus on sound like Bose are your best bet for crystal clear audio.
Nothing says “movie time” like the smell of freshly popped, buttery, salty popcorn. Now you can get your favorite theater treat at home: this old-fashioned kettle popcorn machine dispenses your popped kernels directly into a bowl below, and has two seasoning dispensers to add an extra punch of flavor.
