Bare minimum for home theatre speakers

[adamantine]

Hello, I haven't bought speakers in a long time and I was wondering how much it would cost at the very least for a home theatre setup. I think I spent $300 around 10 years ago and got 5 speakers + sub woofer, but they are all dying. I imagine the main difference with products available now is Wifi/bluetooth support. What do you recommend?

edit; I didn't realize the ask the community widget on the sidebar would post it to the sub I was currently in. Can a mod move it?

My current system:

Denon 5.2 receiver
EnergyTake 5 Classic speakers
10" PolkAudio sub, about to add a second.

Maybe $700 total.

Maybe change the EnergyTake speakers for this Klipsch system.

Hey, thanks for moving this and for the reply That's quite a system, would you say it's mid or high end?

I wouldn't put a 'level' on it, other than to say it will shake the entire house. And sound good doing it.

But in true audiophile terms..."high end" starts at 5 figures...lol

"setup..." am still waiting to hear where the other main piece of this setup, the amp/receiver.

I have never have speakers die on me, lucky? Got 20+ years old speakers sitting around and the only reason they are not being used because there are prettier ones in town.
