I bought the 65" KS8000 9-Series 4K SUHD TV (2016 Model). If I want to have surround sound, what product do you recommend? From Samsung's Accessories site, they recommend HW-K650 Soundbar w/Wireless Subwoofer.

It seems that to get surround sound, I also need something like the Radiant360 R7 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Speaker

BestBuy's sales recommended: Sonos Playbar, Play Sub and Play 1 x 2 for rear surround.
Another sales recommended the more expensive Boss's Sound Touch 130.


What audio system do you recommend?

i recommend a receiver, and speakers, not a packaged system
im partial to denon receivers
speakers picked for your budget and needs
start with 2.1 or 3.1 and add as budget allows

If ease of setup and space is of paramount importance. I'd get this. http://www.audioholics.com/surround-sound-reviews/enclave-cinehome
Everything is wireless and no receiver is needed.

If sound is more important, I'd go with these. http://www.audioholics.com/tower-speaker-reviews/elac-debut-loudspeaker-system
You'll have to get a receiver and a sub, however. For home theater a BIC sub will suffice. If you want it for music too I'd move up to an SVS or a do it yourself. You didn't give a budget, so people here could recommend even better speakers. The Elac Debuts are the best in their price range right now.

Samsung doesn't make good speakers. They just look pretty.

It depends on what you're after. Do you want theater sound and don't mind big speakers and wiring? Or are you after better sound but aesthetics are a major factor?

1. What's your budget?

2. What are your goals, i.e. what do you want? Easy-to-install system? Giant speakers? Wireless?

Get far far away from package home-theater-in-a-box systems. Main thing first is what is your budget?
