Are sound bars worth it?

My cable provider [Videotron in Quebec City] does not offer a cable base/box with analogue outputs. So, I am at a loss how to get the audio signal from my TV to my preamp, for real sound while watching TV.

My question is whether any sound bars are worth the expense and effort in providing better audio than the TV itself [a SONY.... but they are all terrible].

Any opinions?

From my experience a sound bar is worth it.

I bought the Yamaha Sound Bar a few months ago - took only a few minutes to connect to my Yamaha subwoofer. My apartment bedroom is pretty small so the bass is a good upgrade from my normal tv speakers.

Most sound bars are under $100. I thought it was a good purchase, but I'd be hesitant on buying one over $150 since you can buy a subwoofer for that much.
