If you’ve just spent months saving up for a new TV, it can be tough to stomach the news that you definitely need a soundbar to go with it. Other than that, you’ll have to buy full speaker systems (like Vizio's 5.1 system) to get surround sound. For slightly worse sound but similar functionality, you can spend very nearly the same price assembling a similar modular system from Roku’s soundbar, subwoofer, and TV speaker components. You can spend more cash on modular soundbar systems from companies like Sonos or Bose, both of which will sound better overall.

If I put myself in the shoes of someone who just needs a soundbar with the idea that they might want to upgrade to a full home theater setup down the line, the Polk React becomes one of the best options I can think of. With each component of the Polk React costing just a couple hundred bucks, and purchasable separately, it’s an affordable path to great surround sound for those with lighter wallets. You could buy an entire 5.1 soundbar system as a package for less money overall than what you'd spend assembling a Polk React system piece by piece, but you’d have to drop all the cash at once. The main Alexa-enabled bar, subwoofer, and surround speakers are each sold separately, so you can start with the bar, then purchase the other pieces to fill out your full 5.1 system at your leisure. That’s why I’ve become a fan of the new Polk Audio React line of home theater speakers.

Spend a couple hundred dollars for a basic bar now, and you’ll be stuck buying a brand new center speaker if you want to upgrade to a full surround sound system-with dedicated surround speakers and a subwoofer-down the line. The annoying downside to soundbars is that very few entry-level options give you an easy way to upgrade to a larger speaker system.
