Ideally I would like one at about 200 or below, preferably if it's carried by Amazon as I have about 80 bucks in gift cards for them. Also only a 2.1 system. As much as I'd like a 5.1 system, I have no way to mount the rear speakers and I know just placing them on the windowsill is going to make our cats decide to keep knocking them off. No real brand preference, but if there's a Vizio bar that has a remote that can control my TV (the input button on my remote is shot, so I can't change which HDMI port i'm on), that would be great.
