I just moved from a 1 bedroom apartment to a house where the upstairs 'attic' is a full-on entertainment den. Mid-way in the room I have a 60" flatscreen mounted on the wall centered on the couch that is ~13 feet back flush against the opposite wall -- which is the main seating area of movies/gaming/etc.
My current setup that I bought in college 6 years ago is provided at the end. I initially thought I should get two more speakers and mount them behind the couch for surround sound but running the cables is an issue due to the room setup. I've also read that you want space behind the seating area for the back speakers otherwise a 2.1 or 3.1 setup is much better suited.
My budget is 1-2k and I love my deep bass (for movies and music!). Many places seem to recommend the wireless SONOS 3.1 setup or a BOSE system - what are the thoughts on these? If I go with a 5.1 setup I would want wireless due to the logistics issues. I am upgrading to a 4k TV early next year and run my cable, PS4, and Xbox through my current receiver so would need sufficient setup to run those going forward (I don't think my current receiver supports 4k).
Is anything from my current setup salvageable -- or worth it? Should I sell what I can and get a wireless system or go for a scale-able 5.1 receiver with a 2.1 or 3.1 setup to start?
