    Not a fan of soundbars in general since they don't allow for any customization or upgrading. They include all the processing, power and speakers into a single unit, so if you ever get tired of the weak sound, you can't simply add better speakers. If the amp stops working, you can't just change the amp, and so on.

    It's much more practical to have a standalone a/v receiver and L/C/R speakers, in my opinion.

    Otherwise, many soundbars do actually sound good if you pony up for one with a decent pedigree, power and a separate sub. Just don't buy into the simulated surround, it's a gimmick that rarely works well.
