Well, if it’s a new format that doesn’t work with current equipment, we’ll have to see what happens. But if it’s truly open source to everyone, could be interesting over time. The thing with these “proprietary” formats is that the patent runs out and a company moves on to another patented product, which would be another format to have to buy to keep up.

If there was an open source format that could be made backwards compatible with even Quad or 5.1, it might be useful. But, if something is made with no way of easily playing it, no one will want it. Especially if there’s no content being offered.
 
I saw an update on this. My first thought was that looks familiar but it's not a soundbar.

I’ve had a top-secret listen to the future of Samsung’s Dolby Atmos soundbars, and it sounds deeply impressive
 
The Sony BRAVIA line is going that way as well with outside speakers. No thought to those that might play through their tv but while using their own amps / speaker array. Look at this to go with your BRAVIA:

"Upfiring speakers." 4.04. That's a new one.
