I'm sure there are many, I'm looking with google now and I see a Teak for $50 though I'm absolutely sure it wouldn't offer what the Bose does <smile>, they go up from there.
On "The Leo Report" some time ago - I listen to it on Radio KFI every Saturday and Sunday morning - they talked about how good one of the Pioneer models was, unfortunately that model is not available in Australia, think it had a price tag of around $300 U.S. so perhaps you may wish to look up archives of the show or look for reviews on Pioneer Soundbars.
