[QUOTE="CV355, post: 16276788, member: 181885"] TV-wise, I'm as good as illiterate so I can't help there. Sound-wise, I have a 22 year old Pioneer Elite VSX receiver and 7.1 Polk system that sound incredible. I don't remember the RMS wattage off hand but 25% output is enough to go deaf. Technology changes but good sound is good sound. You can easily spend a fortune buying a high end receiver and 5.1/7.1/9.2/11.2 speakers, or find some lightly used ones for a fraction of the price. Also don't get duped into super high wattage. Output and perceived volume aren't linear. Look up the Pioneer Elite 11.2 SC-LX901 as an example. Marantz is another brand that has stood the test of time. With that being said, I've been really impressed with lower cost soundbar systems. I'm not a fan of bluetooth due to latency and how friggin' finnicky it is but my in-laws have a bluetooth surround system that is actually pretty impressive, especially considering the overall cost they got it for. Really depends on what you want. My father went for a "make the neighbors 1/4 mile away hear Terminator 2 explosion scenes" in the 90's and it was crazy. Now, I'm more about a good quality sound at a moderate-low volume. [/QUOTE]
