Need suggestions on 5.1 surround speakers (on a budget)

[potatobuilder]

Need advice on a decent 5.1 speaker for a TV(Samsung 49NU7100).

TV doesn't have 3.5mm jack for sound and only have Optical out.

 

My budget will be 50 to 100$(if that's possible).

 

Thanks!

hate to say this but your not getting 5.1 w speakers for that price...hell you couldnt get a descent 2.1 sound bar for that
suggest facebook market place or craigsliat and maybe get a used set up
amazon has a few used discontinued 5.1 receivers for that price range yet still youd have to get speakers
wait found these 2 but no idea how they sound but will hook up to your tv via optical (this connection is what you need for 5.1)

You need to work out a few key details first. 

What are you using it for? Movies, Games, TV, Music?

What is your source? Consoles, PC, Laptop, TV Tuner, etc. 

Your budget is very very low, so i would write off anything new. I have worked in home cinema for 10 years now and something i tell a budget conscious client about home cinema is that it doesn't need to be built overnight. You will find that spending more on a stereo setup can give you better sound staging than a really cheap 5.1 or soundbar. 

So, your battle plan... If this is for a living room setup (Ie, TVs, Consoles and movies) I would recommend getting a second hand AV receiver, two bookshelf speakers and some speaker cable. Over time you will get the money for a subwoofer (2.1) then a center speaker (3.1) then add some surround speakers (5.1). Mix and match components to fit your budget or requirements at the time. Have a look at reviews for manufacturers, lots of them are good at one thing. So if you're only going to listen to music then get something by Yamaha, if its more movies and games, maybe a pioneer, Onkyo or marantz Etc, etc. 

 

Best of luck with your system.

You can usually find speakers a-plenty at your local thrift store.

Get a decent receiver and then fill out as you go.

Best you can find with that budget is a Logitech set but nothing really half decen. For around that price you can get pretty killer stereo speakers
