so with the big sales coming up I was considering getting a soundbar. I've seen that Sony commercial many times where the sound bar supposedly can make it sound like the audio is coming from behind you. Any truth to this? Also what the best place to find the best sound bars and reviews? Thanks in advance
 
Solution
A sound bar cannot give you the same effect as a real surround system with rear speakers. The closest to doing it are the Yamaha YSP series sound bars. You should also consider if better quality of sound is more important to you than surround effects.
