This seems to be the consensus view.

How many have done that? Buy the speakers first and later the sub.

I'm of the view if you don't get the sub at the start you will never get it later. Because you will continuously convince yourself that what you have is good enough already
 
i have travelled a long way in Home theater
it all started with 2 speakers now i have a dedicated room with 7.1.4 atmos audio
i have stopped going to theater for the past 6 years :)

Damn, that is an aspirational man cave, if there was one. I have been dreaming about a multi speaker Atmos set-up for ages but don't think it will become a reality until retirement.

I've seen that first photo before. Some years ago maybe
 
Did you buy anything?
I am in the same situation (20k budget) yet to buy due to high prices everywhere.
Edifier R1855DB seems to be the best choice in powered speakers.
Think about buying passive speakers with amplifier.
Some people suggested to buy used bookshelf speakers and Aiyima or Fosi amp to go with it. That would be best for our budget.
I did not get any good local deals so I am still searching.

Subwoofer won't fit in your budget, get speakers first and save money & add sub in future. Do research on supported speakers/amp for subwoofer.

Oh c'mon, what are you recommending? I think you have gone a bit over the top here, LOL. My brother recently bought a 5.1 Home theatre with Polk T-series setup + HTS12 + Denon amp. It costed him 1.5L and OP's entire budget is 15K, he would need at least 40K just for a pair of T50 towers + amp.

OP it seems you have 2 main requirements, Deep bass and hi-res audio. Basically you are asking for high quality for all frequencies low, mids & highs. Short answer is you can't get it for 15K (Unless it's a headphone then yes). While you can get decent mids, you'll have to compromise either with highs or lows (bass)

Good mids + lows: Go with Logitech Z623 (Obage. Sony, JBL - home theater or sounbars are pretty much the same)
Good mids + Highs: Go with a decent bookshelf speaker
OR
Good Low + Mids + Highs: Go with Edifier R1280DBs or Edifier R1700BTs and buy a T5 Sub later which comes about 30K total.

One exception I can think of is M-Audio BX8 D3. They are one of the few studio monitors with 8 inch driver at this price, so 2 8in driver may compensate for the Bass needs. Maybe someone can give feedback on these. JBL Professional Nano K8 is another one.

Sorry, I wasn't able to respond (busy looking for places to live)

Right now I've decide to get the Obage CA-1 as it seems a good choice
  • 8" Sub woofer, and also i can attach one more for around 2k.
  • 5 x 2.5" tweeters and 5 x 4" mid drivers, I think it'll be enough for listening to Hi-res.
  • Multiple connection options, wired and wireless.
  • 5.1 system *without dolby (I don't care about surround). I'm thinking of wall mounting the speakers around my bed (I think it'll be divine)
I want your opinion on one more thing, is it worth it to go with the Logitech Z623 and buy a separate adapter(suggest any if guys use).
If I go with the CA-1 over z623 what will I be missing there?
Again i want to mention my use case is just listening to music and nothing else matters.

Also thanks for this suggestion.

I really want to do something like this in future, but I'll need to save money some to execute this
My goal will be R1855DB and the T5 to satisfy me to the fullest.
 
please stop yelling

anyway @OP havent gone through the whole thread but i have like 18W RMS on my sub and 6W RMS on the two woofers, and I rarely, if ever play it at even 80% max in my apartment. It gets loud enough to be heard through doors and walls. But of course, might be different for your case, but 50-70W isn't really all that low.
