tldr; Budget Atmos attempt for PC. Virtual 5.1.2 processing. Good for gaming, decent for movies.

Best praise vs top criticism for Creative Stage 360
“There is a lot of crappy soundbar, price don't tell the full story. Creative stage 360 is a good soundbar for its price. The only disadvantage with stage 360 is its take a full 10 sec to warm up its amp. So the welcome message lasted 10 sec. As for dialogue is pop out, loud and clear. My more expensive soundbar, I need to reposition it to the top of my 85" TV and aim downward towards the listening position to get similar clarity in dialogue.”
“I was in the same situation as you. I got the Creative Stage 360. Had many technical issues with it, but it was functional in that space. There is no point going for the "best" when setting yourself such a restriction. The Creative Stage V2 would be your best bet. It's the best of the budget range and should fit (68cm). Unless there's a good reason not to, I'd recommend skipping straight to wall hanging the TV.”
