Orbitsound T12 Soundbar

Just read an article about this http://www.orbitsound.com/product.asp?id=3 in The Times today.
How suitable would it be for use with HW (with the proviso that the subwoofer part of it only goes down to 40Hz)?
Presumably one could use two or more for multi-channel output.
Ideas/comments?

Why not just go all the way for it:

Ha!
Not sure if my budget will stretch quite that far...

I wonder about the product when the ad writers go on describing the product to be incredible, revolutionary, audiophile-quality sound, etc. Makes me want to rush right out.

...rush right out and buy it, or rush right out and throw up?

Right.

They may be using a technique known as crosstalk cancellation to increase the apparent image width from the close speakers. It can be quite effective if well done, but that doesn't mean that a small unit like that can overcome the limitations of its size.
