Have an older 50inch samsung (non Arc HDMI) ...will upgrade at some point.
Need a not too wide (90cm or less ideally) Soundbar +/- subwoofer.
In order of priorities
1. Dialogue (wife)
2. Simple to use (wife)
2. Films/TV sound effects/soundstage (me)
On reading... Sony HT X8500 (£250) or Yamaha YAS 207/9 ( £350 with subwoofer but 15% discount currently) or Sony HT G700 (£299).
The X8500 is cheaper but sounded good in Currys.
Sonos Beam - I like, but more at £400 and as no arc would prefer a remote.
The reviews on here re: the Sony units didnt sound too positive, but not sure if the expectations were too high re atmos.
Many thanks in advance for any advice/thoughts
