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.

I think home theatre is very enjoyable and not that hard.  While my 2 channel system is what I consider high end, my home theatre is relatively  standard wtih a Denon 4700 HT reciever.  I use pre out from the Denon into my 2 channel amp for the front speaker and then have relatively inexpensive speakers ($1000 a pair or less) for rears and surrounds.  2 relatively inexpensive subwoofers and Top Gun sounds like I'm on deck.  

Good luck,

Jerry
