Soundbar or 5.1?
Discussion
5.1 all freaking day.
Sound bar. It’s cheaper. Use the savings to buy bitcoin
5.1 although I have a zvox sound box (not really a bar) that I love with a companion subwoofer.
A good set of speakers will never need to be replaced
5.1 soundboard.
Professional broke ass tip: don’t let your ears ever get used to high quality sound because everything other than your amazing setup will sound like 2006 polyphonic ringtones, better hold onto your tibcoins instead.
