A soundbar package is a great option for someone who wants serious movie sound but doesn't want the fuss and expense of a system comprising an AVR plus speakers.

The approach taken by the Samsung Q990C is the most common, with two mains-powered wireless speakers handling surround duties. Then there's the Yamaha True X approach, which features smaller, battery-powered surround speakers.
