I recently got the Sennheiser Ambeo mini and sub and it sounds incredible. Some issues with it not switching on occasionally (eARC ) but I haven’t had a chance to fault-find properly yet.
 
I was probably looking at about £3-400 spend.
The last tv I had had a headphone out so I just ran that to the amp and a pair of Q acoustic bookshelf speakers. And it sounded great.
I am now using an hdmi out but I can't control the volume of mute the TV so it is a but clunky to use.

Before I decided on the Sennheiser I was looking at the Denon lineup. Seemed pretty well reviewed and a lot of functionality especially on the Home 550 (I think its called?)
 
I tried a lg 5ny sound bar it was at costco, it's probably a similar performer to other sound bars in that price range. I don't think a spind bar is for me.
The Wiim amp could be just what i need.

£319 at the moment.

Add some speakers £100 or so and decent system, sub later, can high pass speakers built in sub features as well.,

I do have some Q accoustic 3020 speakers which are only 3 years old. One thing i like about the soundbar is the bass from the subwoofer. i may not have room for the sub.

Soundbar subwoofers are compromised. Tuned at high frequency, don't reach low, small boxes, little driver. Have a demo of a good quality subwoofer, 12" sealed /ported box etc.

 
I have ordered a wiim amp from Amazon should be here tomorrow, I would have rather got it from Richer Sounds but the are out of stock for a couple of weeks.

Probably 40-42 cm - currently using a sky soundbox which i like, but get ****** off with so many remotes hence another reason for looking for an upgrade

Yeah, doesn't give you much to play with. Might be worth trying the Polk unless you go down a Sony HT-A9 route but then mega expensive. What size TV do you have out of interest?
