55inch TV Needing New Sound System

so i got a 55inch tv that i have my PS5 connected with hdmi and a google chrome cast and atm i use a 5 speaker system i bought back in like early 2000s to use with my gaming PC on windows 2000/xp days… (ohh the good old days!) anyways i recently noticed that one of the front speakers left channel isnt working anymore, checked cables and i think its fault after 20 years of use im really not surprised, its been great, its a logitech z-640, so im thinking nows time to replace it with something that can attach to the hdmi instead of the headphone out port.

about 4 years ago a soundbar was on sale on here oz bargains and i wired it up but it sounded like cr@p so its just been put to the underside of my couch so im not really looking for a soundbar, id rather the 5 speaker surround sound setup but have no idea whats good these days for a ps5 hdmi connection.

any reccomendations?

  • My recommendation would be a Sonos Ray - if you can get one for a decent price.

    You could then pair it with a couple of Era speakers if you really wanted surround sound.

    Not cheap but definitely will serve its purpose for a while.

    What was it?

    We have a JBL(Samsung) surround setup similar to this. It's great. I just wish the dogs across the road would shut up, so we could enjoy movies etc.

    What's your budget? $200? $2000? Please let everyone know your budget when asking for recommendations. else our recommendations will mean sweet FA.

    also, any requirements (e.g. wireless rear speakers). I know you said HDMI, but what about optical / toslink?

  • front speakers left channel isnt working anymore
    its a logitech z-640

      Don’t do that jv. Op needs a reason to buy a new surround sound setup. Now you’re just going to make him feel guilty.

  • Must have budget. That's non negotiable.

    Dedicated surround systems range from three digits to five and beyond.
