If I were going for a soundbar I'd chose JBL or Vizio. I had a Hatachi, which I like, but honestly overall did not give me the surround sound like my main system, so I did as 3.1. and sold the Hatachi. I highly suggest saving(about 300-350) up for a 3.1 instead to be honest with you. If interested I can link you a couple of things around that price point. LMK.
