Hi all,
I'm moving into my first home with my Mrs soon and am planning on upgrading my tired old Sony 5.1 home cinema system to something a bit more 'modern'.
It has served me well for a £250 home cinema in a box, but I feel an upgrade is now necessary.
I don't really know where to start, but from what I've seen so far, I like the look of the LG SK9Y Soundbar with the optional wireless rear speakers.
But I'm not sure if it'll be any good or if I'm better off buying a decent AVR with speakers instead.
I'd like to have Dolby Atmos/DTS:X as well if possible, and wireless rear speakers would be preferred.
Will be coupled with a new LG OLED TV mainly used for watching movies through Netflix/Amazon Prime, Gaming, and a little bit of normal TV viewing.
I have a budget of around £700-£800 max!
Obviously the less I spend the better though.
Pic attached of the living room to show the size and shape.
The Red represents where there TV will be and the Blue is where the sofa will be.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
