For decades having a great sounding home theater speaker system was a significant financial investment. (I know someone that once chose to buy their first home theater setup for their apartment instead of a car.) But starting with the introduction of sound bars in the late ‘90s, a quality home theater experience became a viable opportunity for everyone. Those early sound bars could sound a bit rough, but over the past couple years their sound quality has improved to rival that of full 5.1 surround systems. The Vizio SB36512-F6 (See it at Amazon) takes it to the next level with Dolby Atmos support.
