Hi

i have been going down the rabbit hole and looking for some advice. I currently use a Yamaha Yas 207 and while it’s been ok I find it lacking when it comes to music, especially from my turntable.
My living room isn’t that large as shown in the photo ( View: https://imgur.com/a/sVhaX4H
) but I’m quite interested in a simple 5.1 setup, I would be able to put the rear speakers each end of the sofa but they would have to be very close to the sofa and potentially ours heads when sat watching.

I have found this on richer sounds and while I appreciate it is not super High end, it would be a suitable improvement over the soundbar? https://www.richersounds.com/tv-home-cinema/home-cinema-packages/sony-strdn1080-wharfedale-dx2.html
it seems to have all the features I require, if not a few too many. I don’t think I would get an Atmos setup in my small room.

would this be a suitable set up for both movies, gaming AND music? I know it won’t be as good as a dedicated high amp and stereo speakers but that’s my alternative idea, would it be a better idea in the small room?
any advice appreciated
