Hi, this is my 1st post on here. I currently have a 3.1 channel speaker System but as my Old Cyrus 8AV amp has broken, I’m looking for advice as to whether I should either buy something like a £750 AV amp or sell the lot and buy a soundbar from say Sonos. Both stereo and AV sound are important to me. If I stuck with my current speakers, I would not be looking to move to 5.1 as we don’t want any more in the room. My speakers are Monitor Audio Studio 2 (fronts), MA silver 150 (centre) and MA RSXW12 sub. I also have a Sonos Connect which historically plugged into my old Cyrus amp. All advice appreciated. Thanks
3.1 channel System verses soundbar, which option would you recommend please?

I have the previous top range Heos (new model just called Denon) soundbar, and while the sound is very good, there‘s not much of a stereo effect.
I’d say go for an AV amp.

3.1 system will give you better stereo separation compared to a soundbar.

Why I traded in my old sound bar for a receiver and speakers

Thank you for your views. Off the back of this I I’ve started looking at some AV amps. I phoned a dealer and he confirmed I could just use my 3 speakers plus sub with any of the latest amps. Thanks again
