    Interesting for sure. Neat concept. 800W rms.... I doubt that and they don't state the frequency response, unless I missed it.

    Creative has been in the audio game a long time. Their Sound Blaster Live! sound card was incredibly popular when it came out.

    Creative bought Cambridge SoundWorks from Henry Kloss a long, long time ago...
    so they at least (at one time) had a clue about sound. I don't think they've kept a high profile in good-quality sound since the Soundblaster days, though, have they? I know nowadays I see lots of cheap Creative branded Bluetooth speakers, e.g.

    All that said, I must be missing something in the present case -- the gizmo in the link provided in the first post looks like not much product for a lot of money to me.

    Looks like the sound bar version of a 90s boombox. No one will ever pay the SRP of $5,000 for that. I'm sure Polk could use their SDA technology to do the same thing for much less. And it wouldn't be such an eyesore

    Shipping and handling of $150??? Scam.

    People pay that for Bose, they can sure try. Remember, lots of people think that just because it costs lots that it must be great!

    A more expensive HTIB looks like. Todays yuppies want wireless and all in one solutions so I can see a market for it. Sound quality isn't high on the priority list for those same people.

    I'm surprised you guys think it's too expensive because even Yamaha sells a $2k soundbar.

    Still is -- folks just call 'em DACs nowadays (and, not occasionally, pay far more for 'em)

    Good point
    I remember when I first heard sound on a computer other than the beep beep of the computer speaker. .voc files or something!
