Hi all, sorry if this topic has been raised few hundred times. But I believe everyone have their own preference and budget.

Let's cut short, currently I have around RM4000 to spend. Can you guys recommend me what can be achieve with that amount of money? Maybe later on when I have extra money, I can spend more but at the moment, lets stick at RM4000 only. Please let me describe what I have in my house

House Type : Small apartment 1000 square feet
Living Hall Area : 15X10 feet
Ceiling Height : 8 feet
TV : LG Oled 55B6T
Media Player : Himedia Q10 Pro
Astro : NO coz I potong already
Current Speaker : LG SH7 Soundbar

Fyi, I'm eyeing on Dolby Atmos system. But I don't think with that current budget, it is possible to achieve that. The cheapest I think is Samsung soundbar which is also around RM5k. But everyone here say that soundbar is a waste of money when it comes to Atmos. Make sense as I also don't like how the sound from my LG Soundbar. No matter what source I used, it will still not sound great.

Looking forward for your recommendation. Thanks

bro, u referring to how many seats in front of the TV? my sofa is only 3 seater.
I am not sure which one to choose, is it expensive AVR and cheap speaker OR cheap AVR but expensive speaker ?
6.5" is this the bookshelf speaker for LRF ?

Thank you all for giving me advice and recommendations on what to get for my Home Theatre journey. I guess I will get the Atmos receiver and the bookshelf as suggested by sifu Ben. I will extend my budget lil bit further as it is better get a good soundsystem and use it for the long run. Its not something that I can afford it to change as when as I like.

For the front and left bookshelf speaker, may I know what is the best way to place it? On speaker stand or wall mount? Or can i just place it on the TV cabinet?
