There are always going to be like myself who would never go the way of the sound bar. I enjoy the flexibility and options of building a system. I'm the same way when it comes to cars. I purchase cars that are fun to drive and that have lots of options for mods. Wireless systems would be a possibility. Even in a smaller room I think I would prefer m2s or m2ow with a sub over a sound bar package.
