I would get Klipsch The Fives

Previously, I would have said Sonos Arc is a decent soundbar, but my friend has the ARC, and I was forced into Sonos Beam II soundbar by my other half. IME, simulating 5.1, 7.2, Atmos, etc with soundbar is not very satisfying, and a good 2.1 is much preferable.
Sonos ARC is $899, and Klipsch Fives are on Amazon right now for $475! ($799 list). The Fives do come with the convenient HDMI-ARC.

Just got a used Polk sound bar - jedrider 16:46:37 09/27/22 (0)
I'm playing around with it. The center channel is awful. However, adding an outboard center seems to tame the sound a bit. I'm going with whatever I can fit in the space available.
