So I've accepted a verbal offer for a job change in a different city, but still in OK. Since I have gotten rid of nearly all my stuff save clothes/bed/computer/couch/chair, I'll be looking to get a new TV and Home Theater setup once I move down there. I'm going to let my roommate keep my entry level Polk speakers and Denon receiver (the sub just blew up anyway).

Things I will be wanting to purchase:
- Quality 7.1 receiver with 4k capability.
- 4k TV in the 60-70" range
- 5.1 surround setup......currently leaning toward one of the Klipsch setups.............but open to other suggestions, including buying individual components, but buying a "system" from a company seems more economical and you get matched drivers/looks as well.
- A TV stand for it to sit on, I'm not a big fan of wall mounts because you still need something for the receiver/PS4/center channel


Suggestions? Thoughts? Favorite online places to purchase electronics?

Definitive Technology in the BP series. I will never own a different brand or model again. I got them when I worked at Best Buy and with the 3d surround your living room feels like it's filled with sound.

I've got mine wall mounted, the center channel is wall mounted directly beneath the TV, and an infrared repeater is attached to the top of the TV. TV bezel is black and the relay is black, so it's not noticeable in everyday use. The playstation camera sits on top of the TV/bezel. On the opposite side of the same wall is the office, and the entertainment cabinet is located there, including playstations, 7.1 receiver, DirecTV box (and on top of that entertainment cabinet in the office sits a TV for the office). Only the receiver needs IR input through the IR repeater - the single repeater can support up to 8 devices. The DirecTV remote is set to the RF option, and the PS controllers are all bluetooth. Unless I have to load a disc into the PS4, there's no need to actually interact with the system.

IR Repeater is basically this - this one looks like a 12-device unit

I think I purchased all of the things via newegg, including the 60" TV - that was a silly one to get delivered.

Why 4K? Not a whole lot available in 4K yet.

I second the Def Tech speakers. Paired with a Yamaha receiver. A Klipsch sub. Klipsch rear speakers. Wall mounted TV. Floating console - https://www.wayfair.com/Agora-TV-Stand-TH4123.html?PiID[]=14891832&source=hotdeals

Center channel mounted on top of TV on a floating shelf.
