What's the best passive soundbar: a worthy investment or a waste of money?

Sup everyone, been looking at soundbars and came across these passive soundbar things. Kinda confused tbh. Got a Denon AVR-X1700H receiver already, if that matters. Mostly watch Netflix and game a bit. Living room's about 15x20 feet, TV's mounted on the wall. Anyone actually using a passive sound bar? Thoughts on 3 channel passive soundbars vs regular ones? Open to all advice here.

Oh boy, another soundbar thread! )) But seriously, passive soundbars can be pretty sweet if you've already got a good receiver. It's like giving your TV a voice upgrade without the extra electronics. Just don't expect miracles, yeah?

That Denon's solid for driving a passive soundbar. You thinking 3 channel passive soundbar or something simpler?
