Home theater system recommendations?

My wife and I just got a new apartment, and I was thinking about getting some kind of surround sound/home theater system for the living room.  I certainly don't need top of the line stuff, but something decent.  Or am I better off looking at sound bars?  It's a fairly small apartment.  I just don't want to be limited to the speakers on the back of my TV for audio.  

Thanks!

First thing, what's your budget on this?

Second, since you're in an apartment, chances you'll be running wires through walls for a surround sound system aren't that likely. 

Third, what would you be using this home theater for?  Games? Movies? TV?

Samsung sound bar with subwoofer all wireless. Its amazing

If you're in an apartment, I would go with a sound bar unless you really want true surround sound. 

If your in an apartment maybe you should check and see if it's ok with the landlord first?!?!?
