Passive soundbar


Looking to de clutter and move my current second system to become a third system and in doing so am looking to replace my pioneer elite Andrew Jones Dolby Atmos L/C/R towers and center with a passive sound bar being driven by marantz 7007 receiver. I have multiple zones and things hooked up so a powered soundbar is not an option. Guessing I will need to add a sub or two as well given physical limitations of the sound bar.  I have about 43” width and somewhat varying height and depth let’s say 6 to 8 inches high and 7 deep. Not looking to break the bank but doesn’t seem like there are many cheapish options out there.  Am I missing a quality speaker somewhere ?  Would like to keep under $500.

Andrew Jones are tiny there size is bothering you ? Soundbars have became way more expensive in last few years . Anything cheaper then $500 is probably active ...
I don’t know if any passive ones are that cheap . I suggest getting two pairs of bookshelves or two budget level towers and run phantom center until you find something you like 👍 .
Any special budget brands you prefer ?

a little over your budget, I never bought from this site but people suggested it to me.
CHeck all over I guess .
I never had the Dayton 5.1 packages but glad people said they suck now I known there not superb . But I’m sure there the best you can get for $350-489
