Tiger Direct has the refurbished Vizio VSB200 High Definition Sound Bar for $80 - $30 rebate [Exp 2/20] = $50 with free shipping. Features an integrated amplifier at 15W x 2 channels with a frequency response of 60Hz to 20kHz and 102db dynamic range. Includes two stereo RCA inputs, one S/PDIF Optic TOSLINK input, one subwoofer output.
Agree with #1. I have the Sony HT-CT150 as well, and the Vizio (though not as aesthetically pleasing) blows it out of the water. I had an old subwoofer laying around and they pair up nicely. Def worth the price (I paid $55 with no rebate).
I have this and actually have it mounted outside (with custom cover), connected to and above my Dynex (Best Buy housebrand) 46" flatscreen. Sounds great, and gets the tv sound to almost the whole backyard. The remote has to be pointed fairly straight at the speaker for it register a command. I bought as refurb also, but it looked absolutely brand new.
It's mounted under a pergola, next to the pool. Neighbors love it because they come over to watch the game and share some alcoholic beverages. No problem with listening to the birds as we have a huge tree'd greenbelt behind us that is virtually a bird sanctuary.
We use this with roku in bedroom... sounds great with SPDIF input....peace

Combine this with a powered subwoofer and you're good to go. Top rated by a "popular consumer magazine."
You watch TV in your backyard? What do the neighbors think?
Too attached to media....listen to a few birds once in a while...good for your soul and the neighbors...peace

There are too many negative reviews on Amazon for me to buy this.
Mine just broke.
