Open layouts, large TVs and family-friendly aesthetics — living rooms need a different approach. Here are the best surround sound options that look as good as they sound.
If you want big sound without speakers visible everywhere, a premium Atmos soundbar is the answer. The Sonos Arc Ultra, Samsung HW-Q990D and JBL Bar 1000 deliver near 7.1.4 immersion with wireless rear speakers and a single elegant front bar.
For an invisible installation we recommend in-wall front L/C/R from KEF Ci or Polk V series, in-ceiling surrounds and a slim subwoofer hidden behind furniture. Connected to a Denon AVR, it gives you true 5.1 surround without visible speakers.
Our most-installed living room setup. Start with a premium Atmos soundbar and add matching wireless rears and a sub later. Easy to upgrade, family-friendly and partner-approved.

Premium Atmos soundbars (Samsung Q990D, Sonos Arc Ultra) get you 90% of the experience with 20% of the visible hardware. A full 5.1 with in-ceiling speakers gives the best immersion if you can do the installation.
The Samsung HW-Q990D and JBL Bar 1000 — both ship with wireless rear surround speakers and dedicated subwoofers, ideal for 200+ sq ft rooms.
Yes. Either via an Atmos soundbar with up-firing drivers, or with a full 5.1.2 / 5.1.4 setup using in-ceiling speakers — both work brilliantly in open layouts.
Most premium soundbars now ship with wireless rears or support optional wireless rear speaker kits, so you only need a power outlet behind the seating area.
