I am assuming these are a good option for an entry level system? Any thoughts from SD resident HT experts?

Seems to be exactly that, a great one and done buy, needs a reciever $150-600 used/new. I think you'd have a lot better setup shopping local marketplaces for a full setup or more quality individual components provided that's available in your location and your patient. Also a fun journey.

These are excellent speakers for starter systems. I've put together Three stereos for my 20 something kids as graduation presents using the 6.5 speakers and the $250 hybrid tube amp that parts Express sells. They sound great for what they cost. Pair them with the inexpensive Dayton audio subwoofers that they also sell and you've got a pretty good system for an apartment or a bedroom. Klipsch Cornwall 4S they are not but they outperform my older smallish energy speakers I bought years ago and the similar 6.5 speakers that parts Express sells. I feel like these systems that they're selling now would be a great way to get into home theater audio.

Is the subwoofer really needed if I'm just trying to get a basic setup for my living room?

Atmos/X is completely dependent on the quality of your base/core layer speakers.
These are entry level in its rudimentary form, you get what you pay for.

Adding/upgrading to object based speakers/soundtracks isn't really worth it especially for the extra cost imo.

I would suggest keeping cost to a minimum, sticking to the 5.1 and buy a used AVR.

Lol. Not only 20 kids, but he gives them all big ass home theater speakers with 12" subs when they move into apartments / bedroom rentals. What a great way to make friends with all your neighbors and roommates!

I've been using the T65 towers for the past few weeks and was surprised by how good they sound. They're clear and detailed throughout the frequency range and I don't hear any flaws in instruments or vocals that would be expected at this level. In many ways they sound better than my Polk R200 speakers, which were three times the price. I hear more detail in songs, they're effortless when playing loud, have stronger bass presence, vocals are never recessed like they can be on the Polks. They do sound slightly basic in a way that's difficult to quantify though. I can hear that the cabinet is more lightweight, and they don't create a holographic sound stage like premium speakers and the Polks do. For that reason I couldn't consider them an endgame for music but they're great for movies. They have good bass output that's comparable to a mini subwoofer but they benefit from a dedicated sub. I cross them over at 60Hz.
