It's not just cost that deters some of us from diving into home theater systems, it's also the hassle of negotiating all those wires through your living room. Polk Audio's SurroundBar50 eliminates that problem by offering surround sound from a single speaker. It uses Polk's SDA technology to simulate five-channel sound immersion.

The SurroundBar50 will be available in October for $1100.
