[Soundbar recommendation for a large room]

I don't even want to think about how much I have sunk into my HT. A fried of mine recently finished his basement and pulled the trigger on a SONOS sound bar, sub and two Play Ones for surrounds. 5.1 set up in less than an hour I'd guess. AC power to the ceiling mounted surrounds was probably his biggest hurdle. They make lots of nice stands if you don't need the surrounds ceiling mounted.

 

All wireless simple to set up for HT or multi channel music. If I had to do it all over again that is exactly what I would do. Killer user interface for playing music. Sounds amazing for the time spent, money, effort, etc. If you have problems hiding wirers and don't want it to look like a frat house this should be on your short list. I'm really impressed with the sub given the size. All the pieces work together nicely.

 

 

 

Funny you mention this.

I went by Best Buy just to preview a few soundbars that I had been reading about. (Klipsch, Samsung, and Sonos)

The only one that impressed me was the Sonos.  I opted to give it a shot knowing I could return it if needed.

With just the playbar it does pretty much what I want it to.  
I have no doubt that it will be better with a couple Play 1's and the sub.

 

Thank you all for the help.  I think this will resolve my issue!

Have you tried to adjust your AVR unit to increase the center channel in your setup?

The book shelf speakers are plenty on the full system.  I'm trying to clean up the den and remove the extra wires.

That setup will be moved to a different room.

Yes it is a home theater.

With the bookshelf speakers I have a slot ported sub with 2 12" drivers and a 70" sharp LED.

I like it bass heavy.  Which is probably why I have trouble hearing the soundbar.

Nobody has any experience with this?  

I'm not an audiophile.  I just want to be able to hear it clearly.

I have 2 Klipsch bookshelf speakers in there now and I would leave them if it could be neatly done.

This house is over 100 years old and no way to conceal wires without sheetrock/shiplap work.

Good morning all,

 

I currently have an older Klipsch soundbar.  (I believe it is the r10b)

This room is fairly large (20x20 w/ 10'6" ceilings) and has large pocket doors on either end that open up to the rest of the main level of the house.  

The current setup sounds fine as long as I am the only one home.  When my wife and son are home there is always background noise that I can't overcome with volume from this sound bar.

My question is, will one of the new higher end soundbars perform much better in this situation? (RSB-11 or RSB-14)
