Sorry if this is a stupid question, this is my first crack at a semi-decent home theater.
I currently have a 5.1 system with seperate speakers (just a cheap Bose system). In the near future, I'm upgrading to a bigger TV which may cut down on the space I have available for a front right speaker to basically nothing.
For that reason, I'm considering getting a soundbar. I'm concerned on how good the surround sound will be.
I recently purchased a 7.1 Onkyo receiver (TX-SR876). I am wondering if I can connect a soundbar to the receiver for 5 speakers, then run 2 other speakers to the rear + a sub for a full 7.1 setup?
If all that is possible, I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions on models to look at. I was leaning towards the Definitive Technology Mythos SSA-50 soundbar. I don't really know anything about speaker brands or models, so suggestions for a sub or the rear speakers would be helpful too. I'd like to keep the whole thing under $1500 if possible. Thanks!
