If you have the space and budget I would highly recommend it. I have a 5.1 home theater system with matching Wharfdale towers, center channel, bookshelves for the surrounds and a Velodyne sub. A majority of streaming content on Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu have a 5.1 Dolby Digital soundtrack and a lot of Blu-Rays have Dolby Digital HD or DTS HD soundtracks which are even better. I also use my home theater system to listen to multi-channel SACDs, Blu-Ray audio, and DVD audio music. I would recommend purchasing the speakers front L&R, center, surrounds, and sub as a matched set if possible for uniform sound.
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.
