Hey guys. Migrating over here from getting help buying a new LG C9 in the TV thread. Looking for help with a couple things.

1) I’m in the market for a sound bar (no sub or surround speakers) for the new TV. Based on the below priorities deal I struck with the boss, are there any stand out Black Friday recommendations?
a) It’s pretty
b) Not stupid expensive (I dunno like $300?)
c) Decent enough sound but doesn’t have to be super high end

2) Advice on optimizing my house smartness and set up especially with the new TV. The house came with some solid gear and I’m wondering if there’s any way to use it better. Currently have the following set up in a central cabinet location:
-HDT MCA-66 Controller/Amp wired to speakers throughout the house and connected to the modem with an HTD GW-SL1 Ethernet/RS232 converter thing
-A Chromecast plugged into the amp to cast music from our phones
-Cat6 hardwired to every room in the house to and TV location through a big switch.
-Standard Telus TV/internet equipment

We’re pretty much just using it to play music from our phones right now.
