I’d look at the Klipsh Atmos HTIB at Costco but it’s a bit above your budget and also consider the KEF 305s, SVS Prime Bookshelf and Pioneer Andrew Jones with Atmos.

That's just an extremely difficult budget to work with. You probably need to go used, which will still be a stretch.

One option to get you started and upgrade the speakers later on. One word of caution - research the seller before purchasing.
