Currently have just the stock stty tv speakers (lg 4k tv) to play my music/tv/xbox on.

In the next month or so im building a pc which will be running with wireless keyboard + mouse so have decided its time to sort out some decent sounds.

The odd part behind it is that it will need to be *slightly* portable - will be dragged onto the decking for partys to save using cars with the doors open.

Budget isnt stupid - maybe £400 max so any suggestions are much appreciated.

Would be easier to use an amp with a zone two capability, and then stick speakers on the deck. Then control what's playing remotely via an app.

I live in the countryside with no neighbours for almost a mile (well 1 but hes deaf and still like 50+ metres away). So it doesnt really effect anyone haha.

I assume your music will be on the new PC? I would say a Chromecast would be the best bet, using your phone to stream. That way you can have any speakers you like (PA?) in the garden for parties and leave the leaving room system alone. You can pick up a cheap second hand amp and speakers of any kind on ebay.

As for the living room, I assume you want an amp and 5.1 speakers?
