Hey guys, I am new here and need some help picking out parts and pieces for a sound system for my bedroom. I am considering a 3.1 or 5.1 channel sound system and need some help deciding on which to get and what brands/models to get. I plan to hook up the system to my TV, monitor/desktop/xbox, and my laptop/phone for music occasionally. I have pretty much no knowledge of audio stuff. I may try to hook it all up myself or have a professional do it if I can afford it.
For starters, my budget is $1000 for everything. Some restrictions are that I can't do any damage to walls or anything (no wall/ceiling mouting or runnings wires through the walls).
I have a wall-mounted 60'' TV with a dresser right in front of it which is where most of the equipment will likely sit. I really would like 5.1 as opposed to 3.1, but I can't imagine where I would put surround speakers in my room. On one side of the bed, there is my current gaming set-up with 2 monitors and xbox+PC. On the other side, there is a narrow walkway to get to the bathroom.
As far as listening goes, I will either sit in front of the dresser (gaming on monitor) or sit on my bed (movies/cable/netflix). So, everything is centered for a 3.1 system and I can put the subwoofer to the left of the dresser. I would also like some opinions/advice on making a 5.1 system work. Also, need some advice on companies or specific models to shop for.
Thanks a lot guys! I can upload pictures if necesary, just not now. Thanks again!
