I listened to the ‘world’s first audiophile soundbar’ — and unbelievably, I think it might actually justify that claim

A 1,500W, 25Hz-capable soundbar is the home theater version of a halo car — it sets expectations for what “good enough” looks like in a one-box system. If you build in living-room surfaces, assume a rising bar for audio fidelity and vibration control, not just screen size and brightness.
