Time to upgrade/update?

I've currently got an LSi9/7 setup with matching center. Also a rock solid Denon 4800 which will push any speaker connected to it and I've been happy for years. The speakers have performed brilliantly with the Denon, but I don't listen as much as I used to, so I'm thinking about a quality sound bar to replace the stands and speakers. What's the best sound bar out there for general TV and movie use? Any recommendations?

    I think that whichever sound bar you decide to purchase, you should hold on to your LSI's. I have a feeling the sound bar will be going before the LSI's.

    Agree. Going from LSis to a soundbar would be like trading in your Porsche GT3 for a Prius with a bad battery.

    +1 Keep the speakers.
    If you must, buy any of the Polk or the Yamaha bars. Without a sub, they will not satisfy.

    Meh, buy the sound bar and make me a deal on your LSis :)

    I have one of the original yamaha YSP units and it is actually fairly impressive on how it bounces sound all over.
    Main Surround -
    Epson 8350 Projector/ Elite Screens 120" / Pioneer Elite SC-35 / Sunfire Signature / Focal Chorus 716s / Focal Chorus CC / Polk MC80 / Polk PSW150 sub

    Bedroom - Sharp Aquos 70" 650 / Pioneer SC-1222k / Polk RT-55 / Polk CS-250

    Den - Rotel RSP-1068 / Threshold CAS-2 / Boston VR-M60 / BDP-05FD

    Yeah maybe I'll keep them....THanks for the advice and votes. I've been seeing lots of "sound bar" kits with sub for sale in stores that seam intriguing, I thought that might be where the new market is going and they might sound pretty good....

    (nguyendot, make me offer I can't refuse and they are yours, LSi9/7 LSiC all mint condition with original boxes, except for 9's had to break down that box)
