About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
At £129 think this is cheap. I've got one myself and like it a lot, the wireless SW is a bonus, hate wires.
Paid more than this sadly.

sorted byAt £70 more - oddly you usually get more if you spend more
I don't ever blame the young lads that they employ, it's greedy management that are pushing them to sell these ridiculous cables/insurance/set up DVD's.
It's a detrimental system that both puts pressure on the employee to hit a target on scam-type peripherals, and pressure on the customer to buy stuff they don't actually need. I'm surprised this type of selling still exists to be honest..

I bought this soundbar today and a Currys geek gave the same **** that I needed a special cable for £50.
When I pointed out that it was just an optical cable which you can buy on Amazon for £5 he immediately offered £20 off and assured me these cables were special, lol
Salesman tried telling me that I needed to buy them or the soundbar would not connect to my Sony TV, but you can get a decent optical anywhere else for less. Ended up not buying the soundbar because it makes you question if the bar itself is even worth £120. Buyer Beware!

If it was from currys then the £50 cable would only be worth at most £5
Optical doesn't support HD audio so go with HDMI. Cable quality is the same deal.

I bought one yesterday, you don`t need any wires as it is a wireless connectivity it can connect via BT (bluetooth) if TV does not have BT then you need HDMI cable or an optical cable its virtually P&P.
which 4.1 are you referring too?
Jeez. National company behaving like back Street Barrow boys.
Used to be the extended warranties they tried to flog you.
I went in today to get the £129 2.1 and walked out with the £199 4.1 for the extra £70 it's such a better buy and after an afternoon of Star Wars I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Yes this is unfortunately the case with many soundbars, where small drivers combine with the sub to deliver the top and bottom-ends, but the mid range will be lacking or very poor. The same is usually the case with 2.1 PC speakers.
You need a minimum size of driver (I'd say 4 inches is the minimum, 6 inches better) for acceptable midrange.
Nice deal BTW, hot.

Haha! It must be a common misconception that wireless means no wires at all as Currys put this notice on the wireless sound bars:
PLEASE NOTE: - Wireless connectivity requires compatible devices
- All models still require a power source
the sound is amazing, just got to mount it on the wall above the TV.
Bluetooth is great, you can connect up to 3 devices at one time but only one of them plays the music.
eastenders sounded good last night lol

Out of the two would look at the Samsung, as it has a sub, Yamaha models are worth a look at though are more expensive. If you looking for clear sound and depth and isn't as loud as your tv soundbars with out subs are okay and you will hear the extra sounds, footsteps, rain, doors shutting.
However add one with a sub, it really brings you to viewing to life, a lot a people go on about the best quality picture is required, however try watching you fav film, program, inferior sound. After having a soundbars for over a year now, I have just changed it back to my normal TVs speakers, I was shocked at how bad it was.
Yep I would recommend one with a sub where possible, even if it's not wireless

When you said 'similar spec' I didn't realise your idea of similar was quite as varied as the alternatives you mentioned. They're both much less powerful and the hitachi lacks a separate subwoofer and the Samsung has a wired subwoofer.
There's an LG one with a wired subwoofer that I think is 300w total for £99.
You'll need to be clearer on what your requirements are if you're after recommendations.
Edit: I fibbed, the LG for £99 is also 120w -

Did you hear Dot Cotton inhale on her ciggy?
yes lol
she has a rotten face but a good character
theme tune sounds better though
Spec says it has ARC so should be OK.
edit: I just noticed it comes with a wall mount bracket
