Is a home theater even worth it or doable?


Please be honest with me. I'm a huge TV  movie fan as I'm sure many of you are, and in my youth I used to have a Denon setup, blu-ray, etc. I loved the experience. Fast forward 25 years and now I just stream my tv and movies off Netflix, HBO Max, and Hulu. We are doing a new addition where we have an open space concept. I see myself continuing to stream in the future, but would like a clean sound at least. I am treating myself to an 85" TV not sure the make model yet, but I want a big one. Does it make sense for me to even invest in something more then a sound bar given my streaming and open concept? If so, what type of setup should I consider or if I should prewire something up and where would that be? Thanks for your advice.

What is your budget? Are ok buying on the secondary market? I have both in the same room, with XLR switch for HT bypass for Vinyl from my 2ch gear. Our house is open concept, the HT\2Ch is in the corner of the  L shapped floor plan. Its amazing both 2ch spinning and streaming movies. Trinnov, Kaleidoscape, ATV, FireTV, 77' OLED, and 3 subs. 5.3.4 :)

@emergingsoul  next to adding a Trinnov the kscape is the biggest improvement to my system. Flat out I’ll pick the kscape first and only stream a series or occasionally movies unavailable to buy for the kscape system. Often I’ve bought titles that I own on disk, the improvements are not subtle. My disk player is an Oppo 205 for reference.
