2.0 System vs Sound Bar
Advising a friend. Tying to convince him a quality 2.0 setup will greatly out perform a sound bar. IMHO, I’ve never heard a sound bar I like.
Thoughts?

Best way to convince your friend: A-B test.
Btw, I agree with you. Though in some cases, a 2.1 is needed. -
I move quite often. In 2011 I bought the most expensive Yamaha soundbar and found it to be very unsatisfying. I now have a 7.2 system BUT I'm only using fronts, center, and a sub. I like it so much better even if I don't have pseudo-sounds ricocheting around the room. The other speakers are in storage until I move again to a bigger place. All that said, the Golden Ear soundbars are supposed to be quite good.
