Any real soundbars out there?

Yep Google is my friend but it does return a lot of crap to wade through.
Interested in a passive LCR soundbar that is big up to 60 inches in length depth and height not a real issue since it will be sitting on a large piece of furniture/gear cabinet. Are there any with 5 1/4 or 6 inch drivers?. I've looked at some sound bases but those tend to be short in length.
Thanks,
G

    I bought this Samsung to go with my 65” Sony XBR900F, and I love it. It is pretty cool how attaching an HDMI cable between it and the TV automatically switches the TV sound to the sound bar, and turns it on with the TV.

    Not sure what passive means.

    Assuming he means a soundbar with no internal amplifier, so a receiver will be needed for power.

    Here are some options, although I don't think there will be many with larger drivers.

    For powered i was impressed with the polk maginifi max from what i heard at best buy. Not sure on non powered for sound bar only and not a complete HT rig.
