Speaking from my own experience.
I always come away quite impressed with modern soundbars that come with a low frequency excursion box (they aren't real subs). Emulation of multi point sound can be quite good under ideal circumstances (ie. closed room with walls to bounce off with). A few of my friends have 'em. When watching movies, they work well enough unless one is listening for quality. Therefore I do walk away and go "hmm... it's not bad at all." Certainly no worse than HTIB and space saving is a plus!
But then, I experience separate speakers set ups where I'd be highly impressed and surprised at the fidelity of separates over soundbars. It's as if a veil was lifted. I used to be a hater for soundbars. In the past few years, maybe I've mellowed out, improved soundbar tech or just don't care anymore. Who knows someday I may switch to soundbars with virtual emulation. So yeah review away!!!
