MB42X - Not MB42 . The crossover makes a big difference on the Micca speakers

Although I don’t see how you fit all that on the desktop and I don’t understand watching movies on a small computer monitor -

You can probably squeak out a decent serviceable 5.1.2 Atmos set up for 1300.

1300$ total , if you catch sales you can get that closer to 1200.

Denon recievers are one of the highly recommended for their room correction. One of these 2 receivers, depending on you budget ($170 or $300) (1500H comes with HEOS):

These should be much better than those speakers. Great starter set that is practically unbeatable for the price. The main Bookshelf's are great for stereo and music listening with good imaging for the price. They are V shaped, so they have boosted treble and boosted bass. They can be EQ'ed and I found them to level out well on the Flat setting on the Denon Audyssey.

Frys often has good sales on Jamo speakers, but I'm not sure what's available in Europe. I've seen the S809 HCS 5 speaker set go as low as $399, so maybe you could get a good black Friday deal. The 803 set with bookshelf speakers is $269 right now, might be a decent option.

The Pioneer AJ set got some good initial reviews as a solid budget set, but I have seen some people complaining about it online after getting the set. The center channel in particular seems to be pretty lackluster based on user feedback.

The Sony Core series speakers get good reviews as a budget option. I've seen the bookshelf SSCS5 speakers go as low as $73 a pair and with black Friday coming up there might be some good deals on them.

For a decent sub you'll probably need to up your budget a little bit or wait until you can save a little more. The Bic PL200ii is a good sub for the price and often goes on sale for $250.

With black Friday deals maybe you could get the Jamo 803 set with a PL200ii sub within your budget or 4 Sony core bookshelf speakers and the matching SSCS8 center channel instead of the Jamos.

You can get this Jamo set

By reading your other post, I would highly recommend looking at returning those polk for something else rather than what you're looking at spending on room acoustics. Yes, buying/building real room acoustic panels should make a notable improvement, but something else is wrong if you're getting headaches in an untreated room after 30 minutes. You shouldn't need to do that immediately in order to not get headaches from a new set of speakers.

Your original post detailed how I felt when I tried out a set of Klipsch R-15. They went immediately back to Amazon because they hurt my ears and gave me a headache.

My suggestion: return the Polk bookshelves + center and buy one of the following.

• S803 5.0 bookshelf package for $269
  
• S805 1x5in tower + matching center = $350
  
• S809 3x5in tower + matching center = $408. (promo code 2288)
  
  I've listened to the S805 + S81 center extensively in a completely untreated hardwood floor room, and the tweeter remained incredibly detailed without being sharp or fatiguing in the slightest.

Geez so Fry's definitely is unreliable. That lady was about to screw you out of your money! Sorry about getting your hopes up.

I have also seen people recommend a 5.0 jamo system... Don't know the quality, but jamo does make good products so I would assume they wouldn't make something that is downright Walmart quality. https://www.amazon.com/Jamo-Studio-803-HCS-BLK-Cinema/dp/B07JJ5VKHL/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=jamo+s803&qid=1574483953&sr=8-3

Or this 2.0 tower set https://www.amazon.com/Jamo-Studio-805-BLK-Floorstanding-Speakers/dp/B07JJG4PJN/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=jamo+s803&qid=1574483953&sr=8-4

i'd check out the jamo 5.0 deal for $269. maybe sell the rear surrounds if you don't want them. use the rest for a used AVR and maybe a subwoofer.

If you're going to dump Amazon links, it would be appreciated (at least by me...) if you'd clean off the extraneous clutter.

https://www.amazon.com/Jamo-Studio-803-HCS-BLK-Cinema/dp/B07JJ5VKHL is all you need. Everything that starts with /ref is redundant and/or gives Amazon info for no reason.

Alternatively, clean up the links further like so [Jamo 803 on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Jamo-Studio-803-HCS-BLK-Cinema/dp/B07JJ5VKHL) leading to the result Jamo 803 on Amazon
