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.

Oh yeah!  Movies thru a good system is a blast. I have the Sony Bravia 86 inch and recommend it. Using a preamp for 2channel music and a pre/pro for movies and TV. Both share the power amp and front speakers and a subwoofer, integrated thru the preamps. Have two side surrounds which adds up to a 4.1 system - no center channel. 
 

I tell people I don’t go to the movies anymore because the sound is better at my house. And I can stop the action and go to the bathroom when I want. 😉

 

interestingly, movies and TV don’t tax my system as hard as 2channel music does
