Hi all, I'm wondering what the bare minimum would be device-wise for a 5.1 surround setup? I am somewhat new to really diving into this. I always had a fairly cheap 2.1 setup but I'd like to put together a nice 5.1 setup.
Of course it would be at least 5 speakers and 1 sub, but I see people recommending amps, pre-amps, receivers, and I'm not sure where the minimum starts and where the upgrades begin with these things, hence the question.
In other words; what would I need to setup and connect 5 speakers and 1 sub to my television? And what would be nice additions to improve sound quality further beyond the minimum layout of devices.
