Just a stand-alone bar of decent quality and no subwoofer. Any suggestions? 36” examples are everywhere but aren’t wide enough.

 

This is an example of what I’m not looking for:

Can't help you find an 48" soundbar, but I would recommend you try to find a 5.1 system that works in your room.

I tried a soundbar for a week before selling it and installing a proper 5.1 system. Even with speakers not in an ideal position, the surround sound is still better than what a soundbar cab produce.

Yeah it’s under a 65” TV. Just seems like it would look better. It’s in the main living area and I don’t want to clutter up the floor with satellite speakers and subwoofers. Just boost the TV sound a little.

I have the newish Sonos beam and it rocks. The Arc is the next level up and fits your dimensions. $900 though.

Why 48inches?  Just looks?

That's not what she said?

This guy reviews a number of the better sound bars. Worth a few mins to check some of them out

I have pretty small speakers (measuring 4”x4”x6”) on speaker stands. They’re not too intrusive and I think they look better than a soundbar.

The cables to the satellite speakers through a PVC pipe by the baseboards. Unless you are really looking for them, it wouldn’t be noticeable.

Like I mentioned earlier; the satellite  speakers in the rear aren’t in the ideal position. But with a decent receiver, you should be able to dial the volume of each individual speaker and get it about right  

The satellite speakers the same size are in the corners. Maybe you can put a plant in front of them if you don’t want to see them.

I have no idea about any of this, but I just wanted to make official that the title of this thread gave me a good laugh.  That is all.
