For that price you can get a decent surround sound system. Sound bars don't sound much better than the speakers built into the TV.

You do not know what you're talking about. The $50 no name soundbar from Walmart might not be an improvement but soundbars from Sonos (and others) are MAJOR upgrades.

A surround sound system will likely sound better (again not the $100 combo pack from Walmart) but requires placing speakers in the proper places...which most people do not even do

I don't place my speakers in the right spots, but luckily (like Sonos and others) room correction software really helps with this. Especially after A1Evo.

Soundbars are a great solution really, I never understood the negativity towards them. It's all I recommend to my friends as I know they are unable to comprehend what a receiver is and then what speakers to get and let's not go into subs.
