XenonMan: All of that functionality and much more is built into Yamaha's sound bars now. Their top of the line 5100 is 8 3/8"high x 3 1/2" deep. While it is a DSP with digital amps, it actually does much more including video upconversion. Its also not cheap at $2200. I assume it wholesales for $1100 to $1500.

I am actually looking for something somethat simpler that would hopefully be more HiFi. Thus my thoughts about pairing with the RR2150. This would give Outlaw a complete solution.

Gonk: I agree that a speaker only sound bar would work. The question is the price point. If money is no question, then a sound bar solution really doesn't make sense. Yamaha's product uses a total of 120w for all 5 of its channels. If the electronics are all outboard, then I would look for this to cost under $500. It could then be paired with the 1070 replacement (if there is one).
