DIY speakers/sub for even more bang for your buck. But some ppl just want to keep it simple, and there's always the WAF to consider
This is more for people who don't want to run a ton of wires or have wives that don't want speakers all over the place.
I spent barely more than this and have 7.2 in my theater room (hopefully atmos next year), but for those that want better sound without running a ton of wires or speakers this seems like a solid deal
if you do I think Sonos are one of the best.

I don't think this will do what you would want it to do. What good is Atmos without the rest of the surround setup?
When the LG SJ-8 came out in the Buydig deal in May, there were virtually no reviews for it anywhere as well and many of us were hesitant to pull the trigger for that reason. However, many of us still bought it and have mostly been satisfied.
