That AT looks interesting, I have zero experience with it, but why not just go for a nice pair of tower speakers for ~$1k? You’d get bigger woofers that could push more air in that big room, they’d sound better for music, and I think a pair of tower speakers would look a whole lot more elegant and fit/suit that space better than a bar/subwoofer. Just my opinion though…
If it's "surround sound" you're after I'm not so sure that room would even allow a faux soundbar surround effect, who knows though....however, the review you linked kind of suggested that if you read between the lines.
I like my surround system, I think it’s the bees knees for some movies, but many times I wonder why I even have it at all. The surround effect from TV is almost useless and if it’s not a high energy action movie the surround effect is often minimal...or subtle. Again, just my opinion, but in that situation I think I’d go for 2-channel performance over some novel soundbar that may only have a slight surround effect in such a large room.
