We bought a Samsung TV and soundbar for xmas, used it wireless initially (bluetooth) but found that the sound lagged the picture by a fraction but noticable enough. We bought a 5quid cable and that sorted it.
Make sure you're remotes are compatible, the chap in PC world told us that some makes (LG and Panasonic I think) wont work together so you end up with two remotes, and some units also didn't switch the TV speaker off automatically so you ended up with ghosting unless you set it manually each time you put the TV on.
With regards to buying bluetooth speakers....no idea. |

I also prefer the optical (toslink) connection and I also do not like Bluetooth audio. The next best thing would be HDMI. I also still enjoy RCA (mainly for stereo setups), however manufacturers just don't use that anymore.
But, to your question, I do believe that things that are supposed to be stationary, shouldn't use batteries and/or wireless signals, unless it's necessary. Not only wireless (and batteries) makes the devices more expensive, they also could be somewhat inconvenient.
Interference = optical audio signal does not suffer from interference. It either works or it doesn't.
NOTE: The optical (toslink) cable is quite brittle and you can't make it do sharp turns.
Soundbars = Yes, they do work and are a convenient solution. There's no need to go crazy though. I got my father Sony HRT3 and it is more than satisfactory. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

I bought a soundbar about 14 months ago, it's connected to the USB port for power and plugged into the headphone socket.
I bought it from Amazon, it was £22 at the time (now £25) but the
sound quality is actually better than the TV's own speakers. The TV is
an old LCD TV which has decent speakers. The only reason I got the
soundbar was because when the TV packs up and I get a new one, the
latest TV's now LED come with crap speakers. (unless you spend shit
loads of cash)

Or
Buy 2 heavy speaker stands (spiked feet).
Buy 2 powered *monitors (each unit has 2 amps each driving their own speaker).
Enjoy the best sound quality.
