Default Upgrading my HT audio setup

Hi guys I need your help, thinking of upgrading on the cheap (250 dollars) so here is my setup, I have a 3D Home Theater:
My Receiver is a Pioneer VSX 820, pictured.
My side speakers are Sony
My central speaker is a Yamaha
My surround speakers are Sony
My subwoofer is Sony

So my questions are could I replace everything with a good soundbar and subwoofer if so which one
Or just replace some of my equipment?
Or I'm set and my equipment is good for a regular size room 20x20ish

Everything works great by the way...

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi!

If everything works great as you say and are happy with it, then I would just leave well enough alone.

The main reason to replace what you have is simply greater volume output. If that isn't an immediate need, don't mess with it - you're actually doing pretty well.

I agree with the first two responders. I can't see why you would replace a 5:1 setup that you are happy with, and buy a sound bar. But if you want some proof, you take a couple of your BDs over to Germantown best buy on a slow day, you could listen to the soundbars and I would bet you would not find any improvement over what you have.
