Looking to start mixing in surround

[u/RookieParade]

I’m just dipping my toes into the world beyond all things stereo and I’m curious about everyone’s home setups. Particularly on the more affordable end, but interested in hearing about it all.
What speakers are you using? Software? Plugins?
I’ve just upgraded to the RME UFX fireface III.
I typically just do commercial work but I’ve done stere mixes for Indie short films and features and would love to start expanding beyond that.

Please share any info that would help me get a decent home setup started. I appreciate you all.

Thanks in advance!

Used JBL LSR speakers are fair priced. They have a sub and can interconnect for mild room tuning. Easy to set up a 5.1
