Are soundbars something people should avoid buying? There is a blurb on the sidebar of /r/oled that suggests they aren't worth it over a receiver + speaker combo.
My current aging LCD Samsung is hooked up to a Sony receiver /w a 5.1 speaker setup but the TV & receiver support 1080p only. I was looking for another audio solution for when I purchase a C9.
I'm guessing there won't be a decent selection of HDMI2.1-compatible receivers until next year. I was planning on using eARC with a soundbar but from what I'm reading, that's not always reliable depending on the TV + eARC-compatible device being used.
Going from a 5.1 setup to just TV speakers sounds painful, but I'm not sure if soundbars are the right solution either. Plus some of them are pricey! Can anyone here offer any advice on this? Best Buy Canada offers some discounts on LG sound bars with an LG TV but they don't have great reviews so I feel pretty lost as to what to do.
