2.1 or sound bar?
 

any one used both and prefer either?

i currently have a panasonic sa-btt282 2.1 system http://www.trustedreviews.com/panaso...-btt282-review , although recently it has stopped playing bluerays. still in warranty, so i'm going to take it back, although in my experience, with john lewis it is normally a case of they'll swap for something of the same value.

although there are next to no 2.1 systems these days, they are all soundbars. do they sound as good?
