I'm not really a fan of Bluetooth audio with a video stream.

If you really like vintage gear, the original Klipschorn is hard to beat. Crazy expensive but nothing else like it anywhere.
Totally agreed. Im just considering budget and space constraints.

Common comment you hear about them is it sounds like there's a subwoofer. They really are great do anything speaker for any occasion.

It'll work... you will get more bang for your buck from a 2 channel stereo amp but an AVR will make integration with your TV much easier if it has HDMI E-arc

Indeed it would. Denon are very good AV Receivers (I'm still using a Denon AVR that I bought about ten years ago) and it would give you a lot of flexibility. Like I said, I'm a fan of the sound of Klipsch so it is a winner in my book.
In the short time we've been discussing this and with his budget constraints, I think Wes may have nailed it here! I totally agree with you about Denon receivers. I had one stolen from me years ago and havent replaced it, but I.loved that equipment.

Just for info sake, would this be good? My cousin gave me a big subwoofer that I have in storage that I could try adding as well.

one day..... when I have a large enough house I can dedicate an entire room to these whales 🤣
They are unique, and huge but you can power them with a Radio Shack amp. Super efficient. I think some of the larger theaters still use the theatrical versions of these. Huge, all horn, assemblages.

Yup, very cool design, with the right room setup they should give a concert like experience.
