STR-DH190 Stereo Receiver
SS-CS5 3-Way Bookshelf Speakers
I don't necessarily need surround sound for my apartment, but I need better speakers than the ones built into my TV, so I can actually enjoy watching a movie. For the reason above, I don't want to spend more than $400-500 (receiver & speakers) on this rig, since I am not really looking for that cinematic sound, and also considering I live in an apartment. I am not sure if it matters, but I have 2-3 systems that would be using it. I don't have cable, so it would be a PS3, Wii, and possibly another PS3 (Try not to judge on my game systems haha). I also like the idea that it has Bluetooth, so I could hook up my phone to it and listen to music.
I am new to using surround sound and the lingo that is related to it. I have my reasons for not wanting to use a sound bar, and I feel more comfortable with this type of setup. Are these two items compatible? For the bare minimum of what I need, will these two items suffice? Or will I need to use something different?
I chose these two items since the brand was familiar and they were in the price range I was looking for. If these two are not compatible, what would you recommend considering my current parameters?
