Why on earth do they measure power in Peak? You either measure in WRMS or not at all - peak is a lie and makes a brand look silly.

Creative need to slash that price ..... There great bars to that range I highly doubt creative is even competitive with it.

They are all terrible special if have 5.1 system and or remeber what they sound like. I had few Sound bar over the years they certianly sound better then tv speakers. but just terrible compared to 5.1 speakers. then again the 25+ years old bookself speakers i using sound better then sound bars i have owned. There is no replacment for speakers being place in the corner a sound bar trying to do that is not even close the same thing. it why got rid of sound bars. I at some point was gona get KAtana bar just for pc, but i rather just use my headphones There great if you limited on room and cant have 5.1 or even 2.1 system which still works better then soundbars

That looks a lot like a subwoofer that comes with a $39 set. I suspect it sounds like one too.

Most of the subs that camewith bar i had where terrible, little to no bass, the ACS 48 2.1 I bought 20+ years back that cost less then most sound bars i had sound better way better sub. and was better right up till day it died year ago, taking the satellite speakers with it.

Ok from an audiophile stand point they are all mediocre or bad ... For an audio plebeian like me sounds fine ! So let me correct what I said ! There are better bars than this in this price point 😛.if I am to spend 400+ on sound most likely I will ask audiophiles what they would buy in this price if they where buying !
