| The Bottom Line | A single-speaker surround system, the Polk Audio SurroundBar works best as a home-theater solution for small rooms. | 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'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. | 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. |
