RM3k+ you can get a Yamaha 465 with 5 speaker set (Yamaha brand) from Harvey Norman. Tested it some time back sounds good, IMHO better than the Pioneer set (519 I think)...

but of course.
the pioneer 519 only costs RM2k (RRP RM2399). the yamaha is priced 50% more

I kinda like the 465 with the 4 hdmi inputs, so I think I will get this avr, what other 5.1 can I pair with avr? Can I just go with a 2.1 setup with 2 floorstanders with a subwoofer?

of course you can. would sound decent enough for movies with the sub handling the low frequency. might be decent with music too!
then if you have more budget, get a centre speaker (preferably from the same model/series/brand of the left/right speakers) and then add a surround.

if you have plans to upgrade, get some expensive left/right speaker and a good sub (rather than a cheap 5 speaker and a cheap sub). at least you don't have to throw away the speakers once you have more budget to upgrade.

for timber matching, yes, you should get the speakers in the same series.

but for surround duties, different speakers could/would be acceptable to most people.
i've tried 3 sets of speakers for surround duties, and though the same model sound the best; the cheaper, different model sounds pretty acceptable.
