 Hi everyone, I am looking forward to playing Hogwarts LEgacy but I need a good surround system to really enjoy it 100%. I also plan to use it mostly for watching movies, but I have no clue what surround system I should get. I recently bought the sony ht-s40r but it wasn't compatible with my desktop. Does anyone have any suggestions?

 . . . my system consists of discrete components rather than an all in one solution, and it might be overkill for your purposes?

 I've found that the center channel (which has input 100% of the time), is most important with surround sound. I have a 7-channel system upstairs using Martin Logan speakers, a Marantz pre-pro, an Aragon 7-channel amp and an 85" Sony.

Downstairs I have an 11-speaker, 2-sub system, using Klipsch speakers, an 11-channel Monoprice amp, a JBL Synthesis SDP-55 processor, an Optoma projector and 130" screen. I prefer this Klipsch-based room over the upstairs Martin Logan room. But both are good.

Thus, for the Price and for Surround Sound, I don't think Klipsch speakers can be beat. My 2-channel room utilizes Majestic 845PX SoundLab speakers and it is entirely another story.

It's fake surround, fwiw. (NT), posted on May 6, 2023 at 14:30:36
