COMPLETE 5.1 SYSTEM $2000 OR LESS

[Shane Barnette]

My name is Shane and I live in Tennessee, I'm completely new to surround sound. I am going to purchase a new Sony 65 inch 4k tv and I really want a good sound system to get o with it. I would like to be in the range of $1500 but if $500 makes a substantial difference I'm willing to pay it. That being said my absolute top dollar is $2000. The room I have is 16ft wide by 14ft deep and has an 8ft drop ceiling. I will be hooking a PS4 up for gaming and blueray purposes. I love music of all kinds and want to be able to blast at certain times. Must have a good sub that you can feel but doesn't drown out the rest of the system. All this being said I want recommendations on a complete 5.1 system (reciver/cables/speakers/sub/stands if needed) looks and size don't matter I just want the best for the money I have to spend.

Thanks for the reply I'll look into your suggestion and see if I can stretch my budget

Integra drx-3 $500
Cambridge sx60 buy 3 pairs, use one for center. $510
$1k for receiver and speakers frees up some more $ for possibly 2 subs or just stick with one for now (hsu or svs)

The one I linked is $220 less as I added an extra pair of bookshelf speakers
