I thought in order to compliment my new tv arriving soon I should pair it up with a nice surround sound system. I know extremely little about the audio side of technology.

As far as I know I need a receiver/amp with something built in?

A subwoofer for the middle/near the TV and 4 speakers in 4 corners of my room. Though two cables will have to be about 8-10m due to length worries.

The new TV is a Sony XH95 pretty sure it has the connections I need to look out for.

In the price range of around £300 what would that get me? I do not want to go mad with spending as this TV was over £1000 last month.

I have a PS4 Pro and Xbox One X ready to be hooked up.
 
Thanks for getting back to me, sorry for the late reply and thanks for the detailed write uip @lucid

I'll look into the Yaham 1840.

@Gray2233 Yeah I'll weigh up the pros and cons of bulding over time. I'm just that sort of guy who wants things asap.
 
@3t3P Yeah I am falling easily down this rabbit hole. I took delivery of the Yamaha YHT 1840 the other day, what a machine. Sounds absolutely incredible. Although the rear speakers are a bit quiet even though I have raised the Db a bit.

Also when turning on/off it's clicking and clanking like I'm flipping an industrial sized switch. Is this normal?
 
Think it's setup right although the rear 2 speakers are a little quiet, but I have been adjusting the Db a little each time. Some movies even made me jump :D
