Default 5.1 Surround Bar or RM20 5-Pack

Polk RM20
http://www.amazon.com/Polk-Audio-Sur...2422795&sr=8-1

Polk Audio SurroundBar Speaker System
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_e/...s=RM20+5-Pack+


I'm looking to either buy one of these speakers. Which one would sound better? Or...would the Surround bar sound just as good as the 5 speakers?

Anyone with a surround bar experience? I'm thinking if the surround bar sound just as good as the 5 speaker system, then maybe I can get that instead to save room. If it doesnt sound as good, I'll stick with the 5 speakers.

that sound bar sucks, you really need to stick with the 5 speakers. But i would go with some better speakers those are alright but not something you want to show off to your friends.

What I was thinking with the surround bar was, hook that up there, and have another 2 in the back corner as my rear speakers to make a 7.1 system.

What do you think is wrong with the RM20's? I was looking at them myself.

Nothing is wrong with the speakers, it is the soundbar that sucks.
