You can use a MX120, MX121, MX122, MX136, MX150, MX151 and still have great surround sound and still have 4K for the video portion if your TV is compatible.
Paul..... Yes, we have a plan in the works that seems pretty close to the one you described herein.

You're probably going to laugh at this, but we just unboxed the sound bar we purchased with our LG OLED TV...and, after the dust settled, we used the new-fangled "optical" cable -- yep, it's the first one I've ever used -- to hook the contraption up. Well, let's put it this way: I'll never go back to a TV speaker again! Man, what a difference that thing makes! In fact, we're scratching our heads now...wondering what that new center we just brought home might sound like!?! Hmmmmm...

By the way, thanks for throwing those Mac MX numbers out there -- that really helps the cause. Now, go check your inbox, sir.
