The Bottom Line	The Marantz ES7001 has a bigger, more full-bodied sound than most virtual surround speakers.	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.	Denon's compact and affordable DHT-FS5 soundbar is a worthwhile improvement over standard TV speakers.	The Definitive Technology Mythos SSA-50 raises the bar for soundbar speakers' design and sound quality.
