What is a good solid soundbar for watching tv? Prefer Atmos and at least 5.1.

I’ve had the Bose 900 soundbar for a few years and enjoy it a lot

Klipsch's Cinema 800 5.1 is currently on sale for $698 on their website. Usually $1268.
I have the 600 3.1 and have been very happy with it.

You won't get any meaningful surround or Atmos experience from just a front sitting soundbar, so don't restrict your search to 5 channel sound bars. A quality 2 or 3 channel soundbar would suffice.
If you have the space for rears, that's another discussion.

I have a Samsung q800B that I’m very happy with. I don’t have room for rear speakers, but the soundbar and subwoofer put out very good sound.

Invest and get a surround sound system. Worth it

Sonos arc, sub, and era 100. (Era 300 if you can afford it for a great atmos experience)

What type of tv do you have? I would find it humorous if you spent ~$2500 on surround sound but you are watching on a 45" amazon fire tv.

75” Sony Bravia in Living room. 65” TCL in game room.
I don’t have the Era 300s but wish I did. They have upward firing speakers for the rear.

do you have one? how is it working?

Thank you!! The beauty about Sonos is you don’t have to buy it all at once. I’m constantly adding and moving speakers.

I had a Vizio elevate and the audio was incredible, especially for the price.
Unfortunately, the damn thing constantly suffered eArc handshake issues (along with crappy software) so I returned it for a Sonos arc setup that cost 3x as much for similar sound quality. Thankfully the user experience of Sonos is far better.

I don't know who is down voting you but Sonos sound quality is the shite

Yeah I've had the M Series Elevate for a bit now it's been great. App control on the phone can be a little finicky but mostly works fine.

I have a sub $200 5.1 vizio system and it sounds amazing to my ears. There's a higher end model with additional upward facing speakers to achieve Dolby Atmos, not sure the price.
