They were unblinded after the tests to enable a discussion:
After the listening tests, I showed the systems to Major and Gonda, discussed the prices and features, and concluded by asking them which type of system they’d be more likely to buy.

- meragrin_ 5y agoThe article is not detailed enough to say whether the quality of the sound choice was given prior to the deeper discussion. Given the writer thought a blind test was important, I would imagine they would have gotten the quick pick before revealing the systems. Even though both participants picked the full system as the best sounding, they both also said they would probably buy the sound bar over full system. The true point of the article is to answer the question of whether the sound bar quality has advanced far enough that people would choose them over full systems despite the quality difference.
