It would be very difficult to have a vertical soundbar because there would be no separation between the left and the right channels; and if you wanted poor sound you wouldn’t be buying a soundbar in the first place, so there likely is little market.

Some soundbars have left/right sections that can be unhooked from the middle section and be set up vertically on each side of the tv.
