I’m looking to finally dip finally toes into getting a 5.1 surround setup in our living room, on pretty modest budget. Currently using a cheap Samsung 2.1 soundbar/woofer.

There’s a guy on Facebook Marketplace selling an Denon AVR-1713 and 5.1 speaker set (ELTAX for the 5 and JAMO for the sub) all for €400 ($460 approx.) which is just about what my wife is willing to let me spend.

It seems like a good deal to me… but I know nothing really. I’ve been researching surround setups and soundbars for the last couple of weeks, but feel like I’m a little in over my head. Admittedly, I didn’t even know what an AVR was until very recently!

Is there anything that a noob like me should be aware of when looking for a 5.1 system?

It turns out that my father’s straight so, unfortunately, I now won’t be able to attend Joe’s show in Belfast next Saturday.

If anyone wants to me to hook them up with 2 cheap tix, DM me.

Comedy!
