A home theater system that may or may not exist.

I know what I want in a home theater system, I'm just not sure that anyone makes it.

I am looking for a quality system made by a reputable company, the likes of Polk, Yamaha, Bose, Infinity, Sony, etc,. I don't specifally favor any brand, but want quality by a company who's been around awhile and knows what they are building. There is 'alot' of junk out there.

Though I would like a 5.1 systems with alot of speakers and wires all over the place, at this time it is neither possible not affordable.

What I am looking for is a quality multi-speaker Soundbar system with some decent output wattage that can be wall mounted under the flat screen; with a built in DVD/Blue-Ray player and with a separate powered subwoofer with HDMI connections.

I also want multiple digital HDMI and optical inputs in a system that is at least somewhat tunable by the user.

I realize alot of you guys out there know these systems inside and out and thought no sense in me reading all these stats on various systems when I really don't know what I am reading.

So does a system like this even exist?

On a somewhat related topic:

What's your opinion between the Sony CT-100 Soundbar system VS the Yamaha YAS-71 Soundbar system?


Any help would really be appreciated...

Re: I know what system I want, I'm just not sure anyone makes it.

I've never owned or even auditioned a soundbar system, but I have researched them for friends. The first and most critical question is what kind of room do you have?

How large? What are the dimensions, including height? How regular is the room shape? (Basic rectangle? Perfect square? Rhombus? S-curve?

How open or closed is it? Some soundbars that will work fine in a symmetrical room that can be closed off completely won't work well at all in a room that is partially open to other rooms, or which has an odd shape.

If you supply the room dimensions I'm sure that those who know soundbars better than I do will be able to make some suggestions.

Thanks for the input Joe.

The room dimensions are 17' wide x 16' deep x 13' high.

It opens at the back into a small dining room, but there is
kinda of a half wall that extends about 4' down from the
ceiling that divides these two rooms. Another wall at the
back of this room comes in at an angle which sound could
also bounce off of.

The soundbar would be mounted 4' above the ceramic floor
and below a 50" flatscreen.
