Hey guys - in short, got a new place and want to set up a home theatre system. Am a complete noob in this space and am not an audiophile. Will largely use it for movies.Have not bought anything (including the TV). The area is approx. 5meters x 3.6meters. Budget is $6k including a 60'' TV. Would you guys have any suggestions on what models I should look out for? And also the type of arrangement in the living room - satellite speakers or floor standing ones?

Speakers as big as you can live with. With a $6k budget, $3k should be the speaker budget.AVR should be the smallest budget.What do you have access to?

I live in Singapore - I like to think we have decent access to a wide range of brands here; would you have an idea of the more popular brands for my budget?Also, what is the benefit of a larger speaker? Am comparing to smaller ones mounted at the corner of the living room.Cheers

Bigger is usually...More efficient. Yes, smaller speakers need more power...to accomplish less.Able to create a better soundstage.If your room acoustics are not ideal, larger speakers are easier to dial in.Bringing this one up. Not heard it myself, but fits the budget...and not a single bad review anywhere...Dali Zensor
