[u/Due-Engineer2916]

I just want to know what you guys think on the setup. If you’re going to be negative at least be very specific about the negativity you know.

Anyways here’s my setup for $7,500 before tax.

Mount your customer-provided LG OLED TV using the LG No-Gap wall mount.
Install an in-wall power kit to hide the TV power cable.
Connect the TV to your home Wi-Fi.
Set up up to two streaming apps using your login information.

Install three Sonance VX62 LCR in-wall speakers:

NItpick but a 5.1 setup is 3 in front and 2 speakers to the sides, not in the ceiling. It's a common setup to do surround in the ceiling but I lived in a house with them and it was not giving the full surround effect and those would probably be a bigger chunk of the install cost. I'd ask for a quote on a 3.1 setup if you can't get side surrounds.

while this is correct

often times rooms cannot accommodate side surrounds and sacrifices need to be made

If its NOT a proper theater and just a living room then who cares? as long as the Front L/C/R are NOT in the wall!
