If humans were cookies, I'd be the cookie monster.

Looking for some advice as I look to buy pieces for my first home audio system. Here's what I currently have:

- LG C1 65"
- Vizio soundbar
- PS5/Xbox Series X/Nintendo Switch
- Hundreds of movies (4K/blu-ray/DVD)

So as you can see, this will be primarily used for gaming and movie watching. The soundbar has done its job but this year I can afford to upgrade to something better and I feel like the time is right. I see the Denon AVR-S760H generally recommended as a good receiver - is this still accurate? I can get a refurb on Amazon currently for $369. Right now I'm really only concerned with making this a 3.1 system. What are some good speakers and a sub I could work into this setup for <$500? (Bookshelf speakers preferred for the fronts)

If you're on a budget and in the US I'd recommend A4L over Amazon for buying a factory refurb receiver (S760H is only $300 there - there are other cheaper options as well though that's certainly a reasonable pick):

For satisfying your immediate ask and keeping under budget, I'd personally go with the Jamo floorstander + center deal for $219 and then grab the separate S810 sub for $89

Thank you both for the advice! This pairing is exactly what I went with and fits my budget perfectly. Looking forward to getting this all set up!
