Sound bar for a 165 sqft room

[Strings]

Hi all,

I'll be moving to an apartment very soon and I need help in selecting a sound bar for the living room which is about 165 sqft in area.

Needs:
The system will be mostly used for music and OTT movies/series. I'd prefer a system with surround speakers with Atmos capability, but it's not a must. Clarity, instrument separation, deep tight bass is what I'm looking for.

Budget:
Comfortable to spend upto 40k. I can stretch till 55k if the system is really worth it and it won't be an overkill for the room.

Narrowed down options:
JBL Bar 500 pro - 36k
JBL Bar 800 pro - 58k
Samsung Q800F - 38k
LG S95TR - 55k

I'm open to other suggestions as well.

Thanks a lot in advance.

buy a used set of speakers and an AVR >> better than a sound bar

I already own the Pioneer FS52 5.1 setup. I just feel that the towers will be an overkill for the room size and it's difficult to place them in such a small space, so I wanted something sleek that goes with the interior decor as well.
I would happily avoid this investment (on sound bar) but I'm not sure if I can fit my current setup in the new place.

Hey guys any suggestions/ideas?

@Strings you can look at sonos arc ultra. They keep running a sale every 3-4 months.

Excellent vocal intelligibility, easy to use and setup, step by step add the sub and surrounds and a minimal wireless setup is ready. Do keep in mind its not comparable to a dedicated HT but for tv series, occasional movies and the room size you mentioned its the perfect fit.

Just get two small jamo bookshelves speakers and an AVR. Better output longer lasting
