these are all wires and if you took the time to check the product page you woulda known
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.

I just purchased this a week or 2 ago at 349

Upgraded from a sound bar to this and after I got it all setup, streaming 4k movie from my Xbox plus the 5.1 SS I was blown away at how good this sounds

Way better than a soundboard IMO. Hearing the planes flying from back right to front left was incredible, felt like I was in the movie theater

I did purchase 16 gauge speaker wire separately, and wish I would have gone a tiny bit smaller, 18 gauge maybe

I think it comes with 22 gauge, 2 25 footers and 4 10's

The 16 gauge was a little painful to get in majority of the speaker openings because the wire was almost to big, 14 gauge I would have returned for sur

Highly recommend this system. Steal for 319, but even at the 349 I got it for, I am a VERY satisfied customer

Even pumping out call of booty and hearing all the directions and footsteps was great

Sub is not self powered, but it still pushes out plenty IMO. Going from my samsung sound bar to this was night and day, literally...

If ur considering buying it, just buy it, trust me.

This vs the 5.1 vizio soundbar from yesterday for the same price? https://www.bestbuy.com/site/vizi...lsrc=aw.ds

Does this have eARC?

I have a C9 OLED and am getting the new PS5, I'd rather connect everything to the tv and then use eARC to get audio back to this sound system

Nice, had no idea there was even footsteps in call of booty.

Truly a great deal for an all in one. Can always upgrade the fronts lrc speakers later. Had a very similar set 10 years ago, still using the sub today.

I wired my Onkyo HTS's using 14 gauge wire. It was a very tight fit and though I got everything wired I wouldn't recommend it. If I had to do over I'd use 16 gauge.

I actually had this same decision and just hearing about problems that rise up with wireless speakers, I decided hard wire. Plus you'll always get better sound wired. If you don't mind figuring out how to run your wires for the rear speakers I'd say go onkyo. I don't see that vizio having the same quality sound but for convenience of the set up the vizio has the advantage there. Hope this helped.

No just ARC. But I also believe if you want to fully enjoy eARC, 7.1 is the way to go.

Want to ask, I brought an Onkyo system nearly 6-7 years ago. It still sounds great. Should I upgrade for next gen gaming or stay with what I have?

Quote from LunchboxBen :
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:
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/yama...Id=6352589 [bestbuy.com]

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.
I actually just bought the Yamaha HTIB that you linked to - it is a solid system. For the price difference savings here, I just placed an order for the Onkyo - really just interested in 5.1 surround. I don't think you can go wrong with either, and I'm no audiophile so I think both will serve my purposes well.

How does this compare to Costco klipsch reference theater pack? Thanks

Klipsch is better. Note, the Costco bundle doesn't have a receiver.
