I probably differ from many, but I cannot bear the time, expense, and space of setting up a home theater system. I did a basic one, and while it’s fun, the friends I know with good soundbars (really good) with perhaps one sub are good enough for my needs. The sound is clear and accurate, there is spatialization, and there is minimal disruption to the room; this conserves space for a listening system. I’m planning on selling all my home theater stuff and economizing the space.
One further consideration for me -- for movies and TV, the story and dialogue are the main thing. I do not need to have a movie experience in my home. For really high technology movie experiences -- think, Dune -- I’m content to leave my house and actually go to a movie theater.
