The Bottom Line The Definitive Technology Mythos SSA-50 raises the bar for soundbar speakers' design and sound quality. The Polk SurroundBar 50 sounds great with music and movies, making it a worthwhile improvement over the company's earlier single-speaker surround offering. The Definitive Technology Mythos SSA-50 raises the bar for soundbar speakers' design and sound quality. If you don't need the HDMI connections found on the step-up model, the Yamaha YSP-900 single-speaker surround system delivers exactly the same overall sound quality for less money. A single-speaker surround system, the Polk Audio SurroundBar works best as a home-theater solution for small rooms.
