I have the wired version of the Sony soundbar hooked up to my bedroom TV, and honestly, the bar's high-end fidelity is a bit tinny, the mids are perfect and the subwoofer rivals my Klipsch 12" that is hooked into my home theatre.
Seriously impressive sub for a soundbar setup.

The 8 channels from Dolby True HD will get mixed down to 2 channels and a sub in every situation and it will still sound like crap compared to a 7.1 system.

Unless you are sitting the perfect location in a generally square room. I've run a few 5.1 sound tests "left front, right front" etc. and if I'm sitting juuuust right in the middle of my bed with my head at the right height (I found wall mounting it vs below the TV was better for this) it give a really eerie "true" 5 channel mimicry.
