Not sure if you have a budget. Tell you what I have which I like very much , you''d be in about 20-22 grand. Samsung QLED series 8 flatscreen , Costco. Mine is 65" under $1500. Samsung metal sound bar with subwoofer Dolby Atmos about $350. Pioneer 9 channel Dolby Atmos receiver 125 wpc into 6 ohms. Klipsich Atmos surround speaker system 9.2 channel. Comes with 4 satellite speakers fire up and out so 2 ch each and lg subwoofer. Comes with speaker wire but for the rear speakers I recommend heavier duty cables for the floor run to them.Sony 4K blue ray player under $200. Those items purchased new.

For stereo McIntosh MA7900 integrated amp , purchased used $5,700. McIntosh MR71 tube FM tuner , best I've ever heard. Look for one that's been professionally gone thru , recapped , aligned , etc.about $1500. I run a small fan behind them to keep them cool the tuner sits atop the amp. Denon DCD-A110 SACD player purchased new 2 years ago for $3,500 but now find a used one for about $2,300 and start collecting SACD's. It does a fabulous job on Redbooks too. Also have an old Pioneer blue ray player with 2 ch. Burr Brown audio outputs hooked to the Mac for concert video's , just amazing. Pick one up or the like on Ebay for $200 or less. My living room is on the smallish side so largest speakers that fit well are my JBL L-100T's. Purchased new in 1986 and have been refoamed. The tweeters are a bit hot so upgraded crossovers installed from the Crossover Chef who advertises on Ebay and great. Pick up a set for about $2,000 or less.If you had the room a nice upgrade to a larger size speaker would be the JBL L300 or the studio monitor equivalent JBL 4333. Look for speakers with the original cones and speakers. Speaker wire I used Audio Quest Rocket 11 for 8' they're about $300. Hope this helps.

it sounds like you are in a dangerous situation where you may end up spending a lot of money for little value. I would decide if home theater or 2 channel were my priority and focus on one. 

I doubt you'll find many audiophiles or enthusiasts consider it a dangerous situation situation or spending some money for little value otherwise we'd all just have a transistor radio.

Thanks everyone for ideas , basically my set up now  which is used equipment from my carpenter friend years ago …..804 s and center b and w speakers a 400 watt emotive 2 channel amp with a 200 watt rotel amp for center channel and 100 watt rotel for back speakers I believe energy bookshelf…..oppo 105D for blue ray and marantz 7006 receiver that runs through oppo DAC …and old 1080 Sony 65 inch ………..I enjoy the convenience of streaming all kinds of music off the internet usually u tube which is compressed and compromised……currently I am restoring home and setting up a front room for theater and listening and living room . My questions are best way to stream movies ……apple ….roku ……kaleidoscope….idont know ? Listening in 5 channels…….like tribute to George Harrison at royal albert hall in 2001 ….which is a blue ray format or a great 2 channel system as well ……overall I would like to go back to my childhood listening to tube amps but not necessarily vinyl records…I want convenience and choice at my fingertips….I would like to try mostly McIntosch and am willing to spend between 30 and 40 k on used equipment……for video an 85 inch Oled is fine ……speakers 802 or 803 b and W ? I want consultation on buying good used equipment as well as picking the correct components and then also making the room sound good with acoustic adjustments. Thanks again !
