I just had a cursory search and it seems support for sound bars are quite widespread. You can even get a Sony and use the Songpal integration: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/songpal/
Sony SRS-RA8000 owner here. Can confirm it works with the plugin mentioned above.
Using Harman Kardon hardware yields in a way less happy experience.
Sonos support is baked right in, but you'll need to fuss with the audio source to properly stream from HA if you're playing local files.
