The Bottom Line	Denon's compact and affordable DHT-FS5 soundbar is a worthwhile improvement over standard TV speakers.	The Polk SurroundBar 50 sounds great with music and movies, making it a worthwhile improvement over the company's earlier single-speaker surround offering.	If you're not looking for the virtual surround effects found on more elaborate (and expensive) single-speaker audio systems, the affordable Boston Acoustics TVee Model Two sounds swell, looks good, and includes a cool wireless subwoofer.	The Definitive Technology Mythos SSA-50 raises the bar for soundbar speakers' design and sound quality.
