Have you taken a look or listen to a Sonos Playbar? If I was in the market for a sound bar that would be it. It is more expensive than the Yamaha your looking at but they sound great. Being you know what a 5.1 sounds like you can later on down the road buy the 2 pack of Play 1 speakers and use them as wireless surround speakers with the PlayBar. I got my wife a Play1 for Christmas and it is really nice sounding for only having one speaker. I was surprised by how low it played. Its in the bed room and I think I need to get a second one to set them up as a wireless stereo pair.
