What am I missing here? (Can't any 'BT Speaker' *also* function as a soundbar?)

How is this novel?

Edit: OH! It's not.

It's proprietary garbage. Got it.

Half-hoping Stephen King's estate and/or Columbia Pictures goes after them,
just for how
awful the name (and any proprietary rubbish) is.

TheLostSwedethe remote control that comes with the StanbyME screen
So in other words, you HAVE to buy the little teeny screen if you want remote control of your sound that comes thru this mini-pill bar.... sounds like a dogpoo lock-in trap to me :D

What I understand taken from the context of a standard marketing gibberish, the thing has an integrated DSP. And not a word from them about latency. Cheap DSP will add latency. Sound Bar with any noticeable latency is a joke.
