This thread was timely for me. I never really liked the soundbar I had and I do have trouble with dialogue sometimes. Closed captions solve that problem, but create a big distraction. I did some reading, then called Magnolia at Best Buy (where I've had very good experiences before). It's no longer called Magnolia, but it's still there as Best Buy Premium or something. I think the guy I spoke with was outstanding. He said wired speakers on the floor are the best, but a premium setup would run about $1,700. Way too much for my budget in my bedroom, so I ordered the older version of a Sonos Arc for $599 (the new one is $999 and not significantly better). He said most customers upgrade their soundbars after a few years, but not often when they have a Sonos. I have another Sonos that I think is amazing, so yes.

The guy spoke very highly of the Apple TV unit. Said it improves the picture a little, but more so the sound. For $120, I'll try it.

I spoke with Shoaib at six-one-two-291-6214 and was impressed.
