I want a better 2.1 sound system.

I currently have a Panasonic P55VT50B plasma, a DVR, and a BD player. A FireTV box is arriving imminently, and a PC games box will also be joining them. I have a soundbar plus sub-woofer into which the DVR and BD player currently plug via HDMI and there's an onward HDMI connection to the TV, and the TV also connects to the sound system via digital audio. This causes a bit of a delay as the sound system fires up a few seconds after the TV. However, all the boxes have digital audio sockets, and I'm wondering if there's a better way.

I've got enough wires trailing around the room already that I don't want a 5.1 system. A soundbar plus sub-woofer suits me admirably. Apart from the sub-woofer it's all on a table with casters so easily mobile. But I'm sure you can do better for me than the one I currently have.
 
I really don't know where to start when it comes to sound systems. I would like to keep the price in three figures rather than four. I'm after something decent, not top of the range. I also have tinnitus.
