Well, they are getting better... but not at the rate where I thought it would be at. The problem with soundbars is not because they sound horrible, it's because they don't sound good enough for how much they cost.
The few that I found which are good soundbars for the money are:
- LG NB4530a
- LG NB3530a
- Sony CT-260
- Philips Fidelio HTL9100
The Sony HT-ST7 you listed is just... bad. Really bad. Considering how much it cost, it makes it all the worse.
We're still in the stage where a good RM1.5k 2.1 system will still beat any (if not most) soundbar on the market today however.
I support this. Was looking at soundbar...frankly RM4K soundbar and RM 2k soundbar don't sound much different. It will never come close to 5.1 system....let alone 7.2 The few that I found which are good soundbars for the money are:

I have tested various high-end sound bar in listening room with symmetrical shape....still not what i would expect....for that price a 1.5k amp/receiver like my new RXV 475 will give much better quality for music and superior surround effects....even with 10 years old ancient cheap speakers!
I seriously will not pay good money for such a low quality experience.
