I found a great soundbar alternative for under $100

Soundbars are a cheap way to upgrade your TV audio, especially if you go for a budget option. The problem with soundbars is that there’s often no upgrade path from there. If you want to get better audio, you have to either buy a better soundbar or replace it with a set of speakers. To be fair, not a lot of people want to fully upgrade their system, but it’s a bummer to want to and be stuck with something that you spent $100 on that is now a paperweight.
