    Considering ditching 5.1 for a soundbar; suggestions?

    I just built a basement room meant for both TV/media and 2 channel listening. At first I thought I'd split the room and have my two channel at one end, the TV and 5.1 system at the other. I'm having second thoughts. The room is about 27 feet long, and if I divide it, then the most I can get from...

    Of course, as soon as I have my home theater set up between my old LG 47" tv and my Yamaha RX-V861 AVR, my wife decides she has to spend some money and bought a new TV. Not that I am complaining, but now the ROKU is built in. The TV is a Sanyo Class 4K Ultra HD (2160p) HDR Roku Smart TV. With...
