We tackle reader questions in the You Asked series of columns. This week, it's soundbars versus AV receivers, speakerless TVs, HDMI bandwidth, and car stereos.

Each week, we'll hand pick some of the most commonly asked questions and answer them as concisely and helpfully as we know how. In this installment of You Asked, our series that answers the Digital Trends community’s most frequently asked AV questions, we’ll talk about soundbars versus an A/V receiver and speakers, whether I will ever review laser TVs/UST projectors, and why TVs can’t just come without speakers.

That’s a big question that deserves a big answer, so I will be dedicating a full article to this down the road. But for now, here’s my short answer: My point is, sometimes you just can’t do a receiver and speakers. That’s where soundbar systems come in. The soundbar tends to be the hub, audio signals are delivered wirelessly to surrounds and subs, amplification is built in at the speaker level, and they are just generally easier to deal with, and easier to get past the decor deputy in your home.

It can be. It depends on the quality of the WISA speakers. I’d say that if the speaker quality was equal between the two, which you could find with Klipsch, for example, then it would take a very expensive set of electronics to best the WiSA system.I have before, and I will be doing more of them going forward. Hisense has one on the way, as a matter of fact.

There’s always a chance, but I’d say that chance is slim to none unless you count four to five years as being in the near future. And by the way, I’m doubtful of that because — next question … I have not heard anything about doubling the available bandwidth of the current HDMI spec, and considering how long it took us to get from 18 gigabits per second to 48 gigabits per second, I’m not optimistic it would be any time soon. I’d love to be proven wrong, though.

Now, if you had asked why don’t I prioritize them? Well, there are a number of different reasons why I might review the LG G3 before the LG C3, for example. One is because the majority of viewers I’ve asked have either directly or indirectly voted for me to do the fancier TV first. I’ve asked directly, and been told by more people to do the G series first.
