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.

The answer is NO. 90% of sound quality depends on your room - 95% of people don't have such a special room...(non-residential rectangular room with concrete or brick walls, heavy and hard wooden floor, sloped ceiling)...
Plasma TV is the most analog picture - the most fun, more like film ... but you will not find a panel of this size now ... You can find a projector, but a quality screen will cost 5 times more.
Films with effects - they are made for children ... an adult serious movie - even mono sound is enough for him - a goavy plot and acting.
If there is a good movie (for example Avatar 1) - visit IMAX ...
Do not throw money and time out the window = life is short!

I saved you a lot of money - visit sick lonely people - they will be very pleased, and you will make your soul better.
