I'm a snob.
I've come to the realization that surround in a small room doesn't really work that well unless you crank it hard and piss off your neighbors. Does your tv have audio-out? That used to be a huge loss of signal but the new ones out out a decent sound.
I recommend spending some time at your local goodwill and keep your eyes out for a used receiver and tower speakers. People somehow lost their appreciation for a decent set of stereo speakers and you can get a powerful head unit and two nice speakers that will more than fill out the room for so much less than a crappy sound bar. Samsung makes a sound bar that functions with an hdmi in and an hdmi out. You have to take your entire a/v signal and cram it through the sound bar. God forbid you have more than a one device because there is only one input. Madness I tell you.
The next step is consolidating your 5 remotes. I got the lg harmony 700 and it works pretty well after you get all the bugs worked out.

I'm using the term "surround sound" for "good sound". My bad. For years I thought surround sound was the best I could get but I'm never going to clutter up my living/entertaining space with wires. Maybe if I had a dedicated theater room, but we didn't buy that kind of house.
I'll still consider a 5.1 solution but only if it can be wireless b/c the room's too big to tastefully cover the wires.
BB had a Sony 5.1 wireless system that looked promising (less some awful tower speakers).

I want one of these.
When I owned a home I ran speaker wires through the walls, and installed jacks for easy speaker connection action.
Shit ruled.
