Klipsch Flexus 210 vs Hisense AX5140Q

Hi all,

Looking for a new living room soundbar setup to go with my new TCL QM7k 65" TV. Living room is moderately sized, 8 ft ceilings. We use it for streaming TV, movies, and music (through the TV, don't care about direct streaming options). Budget is no more than $400, and that's already the stretch, so not interested in "for just $xx more..." slippery slopes 🙂 I can get either of the listed systems in my price range (open box Klipsch). The Hisense obviously already has surround, the Klipsch could be upgraded later by adding surround speakers. What are your opinions, or is there a better option under $400? Is the Klipsch quality and sound enough better to be worth foregoing the surround speakers and additional upfiring speakers?

Thanks for your input!
