Samsung’s upcoming HW-E550 Surround Sound Bar is just that–but with a twist. Not only can you place it horizontally below your TV (the speaker weighs 4 pounds), but you can split it in two and turn it into a traditional 2.1-channel floor-standing system using the included bases.

Yes, there’s also a subwoofer, but the sound bar (or speakers if you split it in two) connects to it wirelessly using Samsung’s proprietary dua-band 5.2/5.8GHz wireless technology.
