  After over 50 years as an A/V tech i have learned one thing, that is to recreate <br>the sound that blows you away in a cinema you have to move air, lots of it<br>and you can&apos;t do that with smaller drivers no matter how many you have.<br>The very best soundbars are good, but realy stuggle against a full seperates<br>system, and ceiling mounted effects drivers are a must for a true atmos experience.<br>Relying on bouncing the sound off the ceiling is just not the same.

  I&apos;m an audio guy. &nbsp;Very fair evaluation of all the systems. &nbsp;In my experience even the top (expensive) sound bars just can&apos;t keep up with a medium 5.1 setup of about the same cost.

  Sooo.... it&apos;s not a soundbar. It&apos;s a full surround sound speaker setup... with a soundbar.

  One thing I always think about when it comes to theater setups is that good speakers stay good. I helped my parents buy their modest setup nearly 15 years ago. Got them some good Klipsch speakers and a modest Yamaha Receiver. Many many years and few moves later the receiver crapped out. Went ahead and got another modest receiver and they were back up and running with minimal investment. If the sub died, we could just get a replacement sub. Any of the speakers finally fail we can just replace them individually or in pairs or the like.<br><br>If the sound bar fails you&apos;re now having to buy an entire sound bar again. Which if its a $200 cheapo Vizio one then sure not a big deal, but if its a $1000 - $4500 kit then that&apos;s gonna be a bad time.

  My Dad is an Audiophile, he’s spent roughly 40/45,000 dollars on sound equipment. His set up is kick ass but goddamn, that’s a whole ass car

  I love how &quot;soundbar&quot; is quickly becoming &quot;3.1+ speaker setup&quot;.
