I've read that the sound bars are quite good if you get a decent one, I think it was the Yamaha one I was looking at. At the time I looked they were quite expensive though compared to a similar normal type system, but the compactness and not having to run wires was nice, and for a lot of people their TV isn't in an ideal listening environment anyway, so the sound bar actually does some processing to try and compensate for that. The ones I saw had a mic that you'd hook up at the listening position and then it would do all kinds of calibration with your room, bouncing sound off walls and stuff to approximate surround.

But I've never actually used one.
