I do not own any sound bar, but for reference, are we talking the stereo kind, or the surround sound variant?
Also, since you have indulged yourself with Sonos products a while ago, why not go for the Sonos sound bar?
I have a Denon receiver and a 5.1 setup. I've upgraded my receiver like 5 times since 2000, but this is the kind of setup I've had for the past 20 years (since I was able to afford a good setup). To me, this is perfect. Gives me all the sounds I need. When I hear about people doing the 7.1 or whatever setups I'm like why? It's overkill...plus it's a pain in the ass setting up that many speakers. Even a 5.1 can be annoying if you don't have the right kind of space for it.
But yeah, ever since I set up my first all in one Sony home theater back in the day, I've been hooked. I can't imagine going without good sound now. I have noticed the newer TV's have much better sound than they used to though. Never tried a sound bar.
I bought sound systems before sound bars were invented. And they still work lol.
If they ever blow up, I will get one. Maybe

I've convinc myself that about $400 is the right amount to spend. Have a few options. My little lady cannot understand the priority of this purchasing decision, she thinks the TV speakers are adequate! Insane in the membrane.
Let's have 'em!
What sound bars do you own, and do you like them. Please include model numbers.
