Hello everyone,
I need a recommendation. My budget is Rm3k-3.5k
I'd like to get a setup for a small living room, around 15x20ft.

Initially I budgetted RM1.5k for a Yamaha YAS-209 2.1 soundbar.
At that time I was not planning to hack walls to conceal the surround wiring.
Now after some thoughts I've convinced myself to do it to future proof.

The 2.1 system will be enough for 90% of the time, I'd just like to have a proper surround for once in a while watching action movies.

I suppose my requirement is for the front to be at most bookshelf size speakers, and to me actually I dont need earth shaking bass. I'd be even fine with 5.0 (Full range front book shelf, down to 80Hz is enough).

I guess what I want is sleek and minimal.

Should have HDMI.
Good to have is wifi (I can add alexa later)
