I would never recommend a soundbar unless you're absolutely stuck to that form factor for spacial reasons. Bookshelf speakers are still superior and don't take up that much space. But I'm also not familiar with any I just got tower speakers that sounded really good at a friend and been loving them.

    Honestly I just want something that sounds better than tv speakers that won’t break the bank. It seems like everything everyone recommends is $400+, which isn’t crazy compared to the price of a tv but I just need the most basic thing possible that’s better than built-in for occasional movie nights with friends and family

    I bought a pair of Edifier powered bookshelf speakers (R1280T model, I think) for my living room setup and they work fine for casual TV and movie watching. Cost about $110 total. No subwoofer necessary, but I would add one if I had movie nights with more than just me and my partner (and didn't have downstairs neighbors, lol).
