A decent sound bar can be a big step up from TV sound, while a surround sound system can take it up yet another level.

At the heart of any surround sound system is the receiver, and the better the receiver the more impact your entertainment system will create.

In the early 90’s they introduced Dolby Digital, which gave rise to ever-improving surround sound, ultimately evolving to Dolby TrueHD, which further improved the purity of sound reproduction. Their latest sound technology is Dolby Atmos, which has taken the sound experience to yet a new level. Atmos is to sound what 4K is to TV resolution.
