Help selecting a 5.1 system

[Robo]

Hi y'all,
I’m new to the audio world and looking for advice on buying a 5.1 surround sound system for my room. It’ll be primarily used with my PC, and down the line, I plan to hook it up to a projector eventually.

For now, my budget is around 25-30K (but I can stretch it a bit if there's something that's really bang-for-the-buck).

I’ve been reading around and some people suggested that I could start with a stereo setup and then add the center/rear speakers later. I’m open to this approach, but I’m not sure how to look for compatible components.

Any recommendations or advice on what systems/speakers to look for, compatibility, or even brands would be really appreciated!

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi Robo, Welcome to the forum

with the budget you have, it is very hard to get a 5.1 system that sounds good. I would suggest you to start with a 2.1 system and upgrade later or save up and increase your budget and get samsung Q990 series soundbars.. I auditioned few of the HTIB systems few years back and there was no other system that can compete with the Q990 series.. I hope it is the cost effective way to get good surround setup..

It can do atmos and DTS X with 11.1.4 virtual configuration.
