Yeah, expensive but you seldom blow shit up listening to music. Cars....not so much.step one should be to start browsing avsforum ...enjoy going down the home theater rabbit hole LOL
+1. I have 2 Hsu's that outlasted an AV123 and an Epik. If you can't afford the SVS or JL, this should be your next best thing.Package Deals
I've only owned Hsu subs and they don't disappoint and you can spend within yr budget.
<sigh>
Wife took one look at the Klipsch speakers and said they were an eyesore. My reply didn’t help my cause. Lol
LOL. Sounds like my wife before I bought the KEF wall mounted speakers. You can see how"invisible" they are. She loves them! And the sounds is incredible considering how slim they are.<sigh>

Lol you have a $2000 amp to run your ML and you tell him to get a $500 receiver to run his speakers. I agree with no sound bar but playbar is quite a bit different. Love ML speakers however there is a small sweet spot and they are more of a music speaker. I have reference speakers for my theater room however they are not close to the best. For the money not sure what he could beat with the Sonos setup for 5.1. Love your towers as I do want some ML Electra stats with their motion X center.
First, please don't go with anything consisting of a soundbar or anything Bose. Soundbars give up sound quality for aesthetics and Bose is a marketing scheme with tons of information online that will back up my post.
With $3k, you should definitely be able to put together a nice system. Klipsch reference is definitely a great choice and there are tons of places to buy them online and many have discounts if you buy all the components at once. As far as receivers go, I'd go with something in the $500 range. You can get Dolby Atmos, wifi, bluetooth, etc with decent processors/amps for that price. As far as subs go, if you're handy, there are kits from partsexpress.com that will outperform anything commercial dollar for dollar, but you have to build them. A Klipsch component setup, partsexpress sub, and a receiver from any of the big names with modern features will be more than enough to enjoy movies at home.
Here is my setup in my living room-
