 A High-End Bargain! Jun 22, 2009
In our house now I couldn't really do a real 5.1 set up so I researched this Single Speaker Array and was pleased enough with the reviews on home theater sites to let this be in my final choice category. Being a 50% off sale sealed the deal. It turned out to be an awesome choice! I bought this for TV and movie watching.
First of all this speaker is well made. It is clean and solid. It is also really heavy, heavier than I expected. The casing is metal and has a soft brushed look. The speaker cover is tight and smooth the whole way through. The mounting system is simple but strong, and the additional parts for it to stand on it's own uses the wall mount and makes it so you can adjust it to point where you need it to, make it level without scratching up anything.
As mentioned by someone before, if you can do a real surround sound setup then do it, but if you can't this would work great. It tricks your ear by using L/C/R+RL/RR channels. You will have to run all five channels to the speaker from an A/V receiver since it is not self powered.
The instructions are clear and easy to read. It tells you exactly how to set up your A/V receiver. Basically you set all speakers to small and sub to sub only, turn off all delays and enjoy.
This speaker is compatible with 6.1 and 7.1 by adding the remaining speakers to the room, but if you need something like this, then you probably can't do the 6th or 7th speakers.
Not only will you need your own A/V receiver but you will also need to add a subwoofer to it since the small speakers can't generate the lows that are needed in that .1 area. I bought this with the Definitive Technology ProSub 800 Subwoofer and they complement each other perfectly. The little speakers in this bar can get loud when they are needed to be loud.
I tried this out with the HD DVD version of Shaun of the Dead and a TiVo HBO HD recording of Dark Knight in Dolby Digital 5.1, but kept getting distracted by the movies to remember trying to listen to the surround sounds. From what I can remember the sound did feel like it was coming from different areas, but not like a normal stereo, 2 speaker, setup.
I am using this with a Yamaha RX-V730 A/V Receiver and Definitive Technology ProSub 800. Dark Knight played from an HBO HD recording on a TiVo Series 3 HD in 5.1. Shaun of the Dead was from HD DVD on Xbox 360.
With Amazon Prime's $3.99 next day shipping, this was a steal, especially since it is so freaking heavy.

 Great sound and looks Sep 25, 2008
Definitive's Mythos SSA-50 has great sound and looks but not great surround sound. If surround sound is your overriding concern, stick with traditional SS speakers. For those of us who want more simplicity in our home theater speakers, setup is a breeze. The SSA-50 provides clear dialog and very good quality music and effects. Although the sound does not wrap quite enough to give a true sense of surround sound, it does provide a very broad sound stage. My home theater room measures 26 feet in width and the SSA-50 provides a sense of sound across all 26 feet. I have it paired with a Sony KDL46W4100 and find the match is nearly perfect, although Definitive markets the SSA-50 for 50 inch and larger flat panel TVs. My TV is mounted in a shallow black cabinet and the speaker sits on a shelf directly below the TV. The speaker virtually disappears into the background. You do need a subwoofer for deep bass. Stereo listening from CDs is excellent.

Consumer Reports Says Buy Your HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2008) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2007 and June 2008. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its December 2008 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com and Crutchfield.com came closest.
