I keep it simple with lots of value. BIC DV-64, SV Sound PB-12 sub. No center or surrounds ATM, but I do have 3x BIC center channel which I could use for those tasks. That center channel box has been called the best center channel anywhere value by a lot of people.

I actually just use the built-in speakers that came with my LG smart tv. TV is only used on the rare ocassion that I want to watch a show when it's airing, or Netflix (pretty rare these days as well). Otherwise, I just use the websites for various networks, and put it through my bose speakers if I'm not feeling lazy.

Office: M-Audio BX5a that I inherited somewhere along the way. Connected to my computer via USBPre2 when it's not out in the field.
Media room: 11.1 system using Klipsch 7800 THX (S & L models) for the mains, C, and surrounds. Danley DTS-20 sub. Mains are powered by Crown CTS 475 & 875 amps, sub by some other crown amp who's model number I forget. Processed via a Q-Sys Core 110f with flex io8. Cinema decoding is done by a marantz preamp processor. Stereo sources go straight to the Q-Sys.
Vinyl comes via an Elac Miracord 46 into a Radial J33.
Movies and digital music all come from a Plex server or a sonos setup.
The DTS-20 is pretty kick-ass. It outperforms the full Dolby theater I was in this afternoon. The Klipsch speakers were largely chosen due to space constraints and the fact that they are closed back models and not dependent on the stud bays for their back loading. With a little tuning and time alignment it's all pretty nice. Plenty loud for movies too. I run separate processing for music and it makes for a nice listening environment too.
Additionally there's an audio-perf cinemascope screen (center channel is beind it) with a da-lite masking system and a JVC RS series projector. The q-sys allowed me to write software so that when I play a c-scope movie the plex server tells q-sys which then has the screen and projector automatically adjust to the correct display settings. It's pretty rad.
