need to know the speakers u planned to use is ________?

agree with weikee, because 1500-2000 speaker set only got low-mid range 5 channel surround, plus u need a subwoofer.

why not reduce the receiver budget to buy better speaker set? after all good speakers is the more important.

i dont have astro, but normal volume to watch tv is between -20 to -30. so roughly the same
maybe ur calibration is different

u can't be serious
front left --right recommended to match length. others is up to ur creativity

do yourself tuning will has more satisfaction. its easy anyway with ypao auto calibration

hi yamaha, looks like atmos comming

go for adventage series if you pursuit music

small room ok, big room not enough oohm

small room is enough, do consider the warranty left when u nego with seller

use wifi for 10" backlit remote control any cheap android tablet that support remote app.
actually you can buy wireless access point (below 100 market price) for those has lan port but no wifi.

both not givng subwoofer？

atmos receiver spotted

ppl baru bought it for home use

your space is a bit tight for floor standing but still workable because my room size is same as yours. now im using a pair of mordaunt-short MS502 floor standing spkr in front channel.
dont worry, it perform well in low-mid volume. the best part is high volume because of the solid 1-piece base structure can blast loud like cinema.

M-cube looks very alike to Creative "cambridge soundworks" or Altec Lansing 221 type of PC speaker, which unable to produce full range vocal.
i guess they wont distort at high volume movie, but the "musical performance" is not up to par to compare with yamaha NS555. because needing subwoofer to cover the midbass

i got same suggestion with dirtrun! play 2channel, sure u will satisfy for very long time before slowly upgrade to others. because in reality usage the rear surround spkr wont make sound as much as the front pair no matter u play music or movie.

a very good front channel combined with careful setup /reflection tuning is enough to produce excellence wide sound stage and very focused centre imaging ~floating voice in the middle~ that will impress a lot of beginners who will think u got invisible speaker hiding but actually none
