What size room, and are you wanting standard stereo, or a 5.1, 7.1, or Dolby Atmos style setup?

Not a sound bar that's for sure. They're nice but if you have the room nothing beats properly set up floor speakers. The possibilities are endless depending on what your ears prefer. Even something simple like a Yamaha receiver and some Klipsch reference towers set up right will blow the doors off any sound bar or boxed system. Tune and set it up properly will destroy a high end system that is hobbled together and will make .
If you're not in a hurry scour Slickdeals around the time of the year new receivers are released. I really like what Yamaha does with theirs and you can get them for next to nothing before a new model release. Speakers go on sale all the time but there are often amazing deals on Craigslist, offerup, etc from bachelors getting married and their wives make them ditch them for smaller, shittier setups like Bose. For instance, there's a pair of $3,400 Martin Logan electrostatic speakers on Craigslist right now for $700. You can source a killer system for next to nothing used if you take your time looking.
I get what your saying Blown69 and I agree. I've done the bigger is better systems but I guess in my older age I have went to the smaller foot print systems. Like owning Bose Sound Touch 10's and a 30 that can link up and play off my phone Pandora, Spotify or whatever I want. I often think about doing up a newer system but then I would rather spend money on my house or vehicle stereos.
$2-3k won't buy you too much if it includes speakers, amps, received etc.
How about some Marantz gear and Klipsch speakers?
Personally, I run old school Carver gear.
Paradigm speakers (Klipsch is a good consideration also), Marantz or Sony receiver.
I want to say around February or March is when the big tech conventions are.Thanks man! I’ll check those places out. What time of year are the new models released?
If you were within driving distance, I'd offer you my Klipsch Quintet speaker system with stands really dirt cheap. Klipsch makes some nice sounds home theater speakers.
You don't have to spend a lot of money for decent sounding speakers.

Something to think about....if you want to go 5.1 don't settle for a 5.1 receiver as there are options like biamping speakers with the unused channels. Also, when you run wiring....don't go to Best Buy and buy cheap thin gauge wiring. Get a larger gauge and if it's going inside walls make sure it's UL rated.
P.S. Go to New Egg or Best Buy to get decent prices on discontinued models. I just ordered a 15’ powered sub for $599 which matches the one in my photo which retails for $899. I think I caught a sale and got my first sub for $739..... Good luck!+1 on Klipsch View attachment 1572234
