Magico crossover. Check out the wire that connects to the drivers. This is what you attach your $50000 speaker cables to. And yet somehow these $50000 cables transcend the cable material difference to.....make a difference. Ok if you say so.

Doesn't Sony use some kind of flat speaker tech? I've wondered whether there's a future for that NXT technology with flat screen sets (Sony may be using something similar), especially the biggest screens where the panels could be long and thin down the edges of the screen.
Of course NXT had its problems, but the big TV manufacturers could sort it out, I'm sure - but it would be a big investment for no money, because people who will pay more for a soundbar probably won't pay more for expensive speakers built into the screen.
Yup. It works but it sounds eh.
Can you please define “eh”. Objectively, of course.
Canadian. Everything comes out with a Canadian accent.
Not really. I've only heard it a few times, briefly and mostly by accident. No bass, lacked clarity or presence.

FYI & FWIW, I am enjoying the easy profundity of this observation @Kal Rubinson

I believe that eh is like meh but less consonant -- i.e., more vowelistic, I suppose.
"Eh" is more casual and dismissive.I believe that eh is like meh but less consonant -- i.e., more vowelistic, I suppose.

Is it anything like "meh"?
I think meh has more bass involved, eh seems to offer airy highs. Just a subjective opinion of course.I believe that eh is like meh but less consonant -- i.e., more vowelistic, I suppose.

I think the discriminators between meh and eh probably rate a separate thread*.
On the bright side, though, at least the Sonys that precipitated this little thread counterpoint weren't bleh.

You mean like the Marlboro Man had to be a smoker and died from cancer?
NOTE: I am just joking, as I was with the cotton knots! Cigarettes lack any audio SnakeOil properties but I am sure someone may try to prove me wrong!
No Sir!
"eh" is a Canuck word which always precedes a question mark and is not a relative of "meh"!
I heard it used with a exclamation mark but this requires the skill and deft ability of a master linguist.
Dear god, no.I think the discriminators between meh and eh probably rate a separate thread*.

I am pretty sure Mr. (or is he Dr.) Rubinson was using it in a more Yankee-esque context, as he indicated.You mean like the Marlboro Man had to be a smoker and died from cancer?

Speaking of The Marlboro Man... one of the first (if not the first) of them, David Millar, spent his golden years* not two miles (3.2 km)** from where I sit as I type this.
He had a beautiful antique home, which was unfortunately destroyed in a fire a couple of years ago. We saw the smoke

* and, yes, he did die from the effects of lung cancer.
** quite a bit less as the crow flies.
