Soundbar with Wireless Rear speakers - Advice needed please

[Paul97]

Advice needed please on a possible replacement to my Onkyo LS-7200 soundbar, my budget would stretch to around £800

My room measures 5m x 3.7m with the TV and sofa on opposite walls, the TV is wall mounted and the soundbar would be placed on a TV unit underneath the screen with a gap of about 10”, I would like the following specs if it’s possible.

Dolby Atmos & DTS-X

Wireless rear speakers & Sub

good centre speaker for clear dialogue

ability to adjust Treble and Bass

Front display

Can I also ask what I might get for the Onkyo if I decided to sell, Any advice is really appreciated.

Anyone?

I don't think for your budget you'll get anything decent (and wireless). I'd go for the Sonos Beam 2, Sub and 2 rears. But that would all cost about £1,400.

Thanks for the reply The Hack, that's too much for my budget, I'll have to keep looking

I really like the JBL 9.1 which ticks most of your boxes but no treble options. It’s priced at £900 but deals are regular so wait till it drops to nearer £600.

Feel free to ask any questions or hope on over to the JBL 9.1 thread.

JBL BAR 9.1 - Wireless Dolby Atmos Soundbar

Got the JBL 9.1 over Xmas and so far it’s been great. I bought it based on the reviews but if I’d read this thread I might not have! Setup was incredibly easy. I use eARC via my Philips OLED706 and I have had no issues. I have the PS5, XBSX and Switch all going through the TV and Virgin Media...
