Summary: I wanted this component because did not want to run wires throughout the room. Polk Audio provided a nice clean solution. Looks great together with the TV too (Sony Bravia 40" LCD).
I went ahead and bought an additional sub to go with the speaker bar. This was a good call because it really made movie experience more enjoyable. Sounds is good. I have a pretty open room and sometimes I had to really listen carefully to see if the sound did get around me. But King Kong came in good and watching the Sopranos did not disappoint either.
Overall, happy with my choice. Polk Audio has provided good sound and a neat/clean setup for those who don't want the trouble of getting a complete 5.1 system.

Specifications

Manufacturer: Polk Audio, Inc.
Part number: SurroundBar Black
Description: The Polk Audio SurroundBar is designed to complete your High Definition TV experience. It's the perfect match for flat-panel and shallow screen TVs. And it works with any surround sound receiver. Polk's patented SDA Surround technology means there's no need to install rear speakers. SDA Surround creates a completely immersive experience, as if there were dozens of speakers all around you. This technology is based on fundamental research into the way our ears process sound and perceive the direction of sounds. The SurroundBar works in any room, SDA Surround is not dependent on your room's walls to produce the surround effect. It uses a patented combination of signal processing and acoustical geometry that complements the spacing between your ears to produce surround sound without the need for rear mounted speakers. Since the SurroundBar works directly with the hearing mechanism and requires no special room characteristics, it can deliver a room-filling surround experience in nearly any location in almost any type of room. Installation versatility is designed in. You can wall mount the SurroundBar right below your flat-panel TV. Or use the included cradle on a TV stand, a shelf or for set-top placement. The Polk Audio SurroundBar is a welcome addition for anyone who wants all the thrills of surround sound... but none of the hassles. The SurroundBar is simple to set up. The conductor cable is color-coded and clearly marked for easy hookup, even your kids can do it.
