People really need to spend a little bit more money on sound in their setups. A real 5.1 surround setup can be had for <$300 and even the cheapest option will blow any soundbar out of the water.

Go with a slightly smaller TV even if it means getting a receiver and some speakers, way more immersion for your dollar than anything else. And modern stuff with CEC keeps controlling everything super simple, i dont even need my Harmony remote anymore.

In this case a $50 2.1 set of computer speakers is an improvement over the tvs built in, but not by much, and not helped any having them all on the same little shelf like that either.

$303 with enough wire to go the long way around and speaker stands, so no drilling even. Even if you dont have the biggest TV itll make everybody want to have movie night at your place.

Not sure if this is a bad recommendation or not? Was actually thinking of picking this up for my brothers birthday as he's not looking for something over the top, but just wants surround sound.

You need a whole system, A sound bar wouldn’t work for this. Sound systems can be crazy expensive if you want high quality sound. However, if you want to experience surround sound on a lower budget check out Onkyo. Cheaper than some of the bigger brands but still decent quality. You could check out a system like this if you want to try it out:

I bought mine 10 years ago. Haven't had a single problem. Onkyo consistently tops the list of "Best Budget Home Theater Systems" every year.

Amazon has that $500 5.1 system for $400.

And they have the higher end one for $630.

hey guys what do you think of this bundle? im planing on paring this with a 4k HDR tv(samsung 40 inch KU6300) and a ps4 pro. i plan on putting all of this in my bedroom, with the tv on the feet of my bed

https://www.amazon.com/Onkyo-immersive-Surround-5-1-Channel-HT-S3800/dp/B01F3ENAOU

there is also the lower tier moodle which is cheaper,but i don't really know the difference cuz im a noob to this stuff

im pretty new to this sub reddit, so any help would be great! im afraid of buying speakers that don't match, for example if i were to get front speakers that have different sound quality from the side speakers, it would be too noticeable. which is why i want things in a bundle, so i would get a consistent sound quality from all sides

any help is appreciated, like i said im new to this sub and in fact this is my first time setting up a home theatre system

I got this 2 black Fridays ago for about $300. Its an HTIB but fuck it's good for the price. Until I actually have some money for a real setup, this will make do and its golden. Seriously blown away by the quality. Receiver is very decent also. Just expect yourself to get a fully brand new setup when you are ready to upgrade in the future as the receiver won't support anything more than 5.1.

I'm looking to purchase a new home theater system for a home theater / audio setup in the next few months to hook up my record player and tv. Currently I am looking at:

  • Onkyo HT – S3800 5.1 Channel Home Theater Package
  • Amazon Basics 16 Gauge Speaker Wire 100 Feet
  • TCL 43S405 43-Inch 4K Ultra HD Roku Smart LED TV (2017 Model)
  • IO Crest SY-ADA31048 Component (YPbPr) + RCA Audio Input to HDMI 1.3 Output Converter
  • Amazon Basics Digital Optical Audio Toslink Cable 6 Feet
  • AmazonBasics High-Speed HDMI Cable, 6 Feet, 1-Pack


    There's a phono hookup in the back of the unit (labeled CD on the amazon pic), so I believe there is a pre amp installed as was answered in the questions post on amazon. However, I do have a question if I were to need anything else for my turntable (Pioneer D-12) with a composite audio L and R hookup and a ground wire that looks like a fork

    Any amount of help is appreciated! Thanks!

Hello audiophile!
Been shopping around for a while trying to get a home theatre system! Figured there must be a sub for that and here I am.
I’m in the USA, looking for a home theatre system for my new TV. I do not have any system at the moment besides the TV speaker itself. I’d like to spend around $250-300 max at $400-500 if it’s a big difference in quality. If wireless is possible that would be fantastic! HDMI connection seems like a must since I’m not great at speaker set ups. Also Bluetooth would hopefully be included with the system. We watch a lot of movies and play I play some XBOX.
Any tips or responses would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much. If it’s on amazon that’d be sweet to. Just from my research this is one system I’ve found that seems to fit what I need just not sure if it’s good! Onkyo
