Every week a Guardian Money reader submits a question, and it’s up to you to help him or her out – a selection of the best answers will appear in next Saturday’s paper.

This week’s question:

Any answers? The sound on my TV is a bit crap, so a friend suggested I get a soundbar. I know nothing about them. Are they really that much better, and how easy are they to set up for a tech numptie? Can readers recommend a good one that won’t break the bank?

Do you have a problem readers could solve? Email your suggestions to money@theguardian.com or write to us at Money, The Guardian, Kings Place, 90 York Way, London N1 9GU.
