These are always going to be better than a sound bar in my opinion. This will give you full 5.1 surround sound. A sound bar is only directly facing you.
I would definitely recommend it. I've been enjoying the Onkyo system in my media room quarantine style.

Quote from SuplexCity :
Great deal BUT if you plan to add Dolby atmos later on, you are restricted to 3.1.2 which limits the surround experience compared to 5.1.2, or am I missing something?

I believe you are correct but I honestly recommend this set as a starter into surround sound system. Especially if you don't have a true 5.1 and are using a sound bar you can't beat the price for the sound.

So is a better option getting two quality speakers over this bundle? I am new to HT stuff and don't have much to spare. Seems the general consensus is that this is a good started bundle but others are saying it's not worth the price.

Welcome to SD, where the majority of deals are upvoted by some and downvoted by others (sometimes with little rhyme or reason). I just jumped on this deal because I wanted to upgrade an older Sony "home theater on a box" I've had for years. The Sony HT still works fine but I liked the newer options available in the Onkyo system (e.g., Dolby Atmos, 4K 60p HDR, Bluetooth, etc). I also have always heard good things about the quality of Onkyo products. The included Onkyo receiver seems very competent and you can upgrade later to a powered subwoofer and different speakers if you like. Overall, I think it's a great deal on a budget 5.1 system that can't be matched by two speakers alone.

Getting a 4K TV soon, should I go for this set? Was looking at the Bose 300 soundbar as well.

Look at Bose outlet items too. BFD outlet prices are unbeatable. But mind you, Bose outlet is certified refurb.

Keep in mind Dolby atmos can't really play on a 5 channel system. You would need at least a 7 channel receiver. That said, 5.1 has been awesome for me. And at this price nobody will find a 7 channel + speaker setup.

This takes care of the audio part of your home theater. Video is taken care of by a TV or projector (sold separately).

Onkyo quality has gone down over the years, and cost has gone up. I started with Vann's Appliance back in 2006 and they touted the best online customer service above Amazon, until the CEO and board ran it into the ground. Onkyo had an HTIB with the TX-SR605 7.1 receiver for around the same price, which if you look it up you'd be amazed at the quality and HDMI upscaling, my friend still has his. This receiver isn't anywhere near the quality. It has push-pin connectors for all but the front two speakers, including the subwoofer. The speakers only have one 3" mid, so not great, and they probably glued the grilles on. It's a good place to start, but these are only okay for surround speakers. I'd at least recommend replacing the front 3 and get a powered subwoofer in the near future, or check on the next model up.

I'd spend the extra money on this and be happier:

Granted I have DefTech BP7006/BP6, ProCenter 3000 and Pioneer VSX-21 or 23, something sitting in the box waiting for me to have the room to set it up. Mom's boyfriend is getting to use my speakers. I'm a bit picky, but I can show you my old school setup with a 13" Sony tube TV and old Pioneer sound system I had to fix up, VCR and PSX. So don't think I've always just had good equipment.

155 watts per Channel? REALLY?
per spec from Onkyo

155 W/Channel (6 Ohms, 1 kHz, 10% THD, 1 Channel Driven) 80 W/Ch (8 Ohms, 20 Hz–20 kHz, 0.8% THD, 2 Channels Driven, FTC)


so the usable output is really 80W for stereo, and maybe something like 60W for all channels with decent THD.
