okies.. yamaha or pioneed better?

Here's a different perspective since your space is quite limited, how about you throw all those plans away in having surround and just put ALL your budget into the best L + R speakers you can buy? Yes, I'm saying just do stereo.

One pair of good speakers are way better than 5 lousy speakers for the same price. Let that sink in for a moment.

i see.. 5,1 is definitely no because my beside is just enough for walking.. the wardrobe side is i cant be hanging the speaker on the door of the wardrobe lol.. gonna rethink it again.
i see.. i am not sure my side speaker is good or not, but i am using this https://www.highfidelityreview.com/tweak-city-waf-1.html for my L+R, then this is my current centre speaker https://www.highfidelityreview.com/av123-x-...el-speaker.html . my receiver is yammy v475 quite old already. both are bought from an audio shop in kuching. so with 2.1 i can get very good surround sound? cos i think the centre speaker still very important..
wat kind of 2ch is actually good? elac debut series? my budget cannot too over.. now recession time also but i think my L+C+R current setup macam good enuf..   

3.5k.. kinda out of my budget lol.. yeah that is what most likely i can spend.. cant spend too much.. maybe i should focus on getting an AVR first..my current AVR cant even passthru HDR.

any cheaper L+R that i should get or should i just keep my current setup and use my centre as my TV base? LOL

Another idea: i saw somebody from east malaysia actually selling a unit of the same centre speaker for rm500, which it was around rm1k+ years back. Maybe i can use the MTM setup centre speaker as my L+R? gonna buy a better stand tho.. current stand too small for it lol..

Sorry for interrupting.
I am also thinking to fix ceiling speaker for atmos. But from what u said it is like the ceiling speaker is not worth at all to install. Is it means that 5.1 is actually more than enough for a home theater??🤔🤔how abt 7.1??

I have a few choices for subwoofer, my room size is like 3m x4m small height around 3m also. my budget for subwoofer is like 1-1.5k, i have come down to this list:
1) Polk Audio PSW 111 1.2k
2) Definitive Technology ProSub 800 1.6k
3) Yamaha MusicCast SUB 100 1.7k
4) Yamaha Yamaha NS-SW300 1.5k
5) Wharfedale WH-S8E rm1k
6) Audio Pro Living LV-Sub rm1.1k
7) ELAC Debut 2.0 S8.2 rm1k
8) Mission MS-300 rm 1.5k

due to space and budget constraint, these are the subwoofer i can get. I see polk audio psw111 is most recommendable but i saw Definitive Technology ProSub 800 definitely can pack a punch.

What's wrong with Wharfedale sub? It looks exactly like one of the Mission sub, probably from same IAG factory?

Wah, quick google saw this model got Watt HiFi 5 stars awarded, claiming it's champion of subwoofer for the price and performance...

Looks like sealed enclosure right? Could be the woofer driver couldn't breath. 

ok bro.. i have a psb subseries 125, but now it keep blowing out the fuse.. so i decided to get 1 which is more reliable. deftech is definintion technology?

when i power it up it blown the fuse. i bought the same rating one as the old one.. dunno why like tat..

let me check again.. but i think i bought the exact one. because it is abit special so i bought it from rs online.

Guys, is this a good subwoofer?
Dynaudio SUB 250 10" sealed, found a used one selling around 1.6k..

okies.. now i am thinking to keep my avr to wait for new one, instead just budget on getting a new subwoofer. How about elac debut sub s10eq or sub1010? i saw earlier thread SSJBen did recommend elac s10eq which is currently around 2.2k.. svs sb1000 is now 3.5k.. damn macam too out of budget..

What you mean single wire ease up the amp ???

Ini freedom version or non-freedom version? One of the most overhyped speaker by watt hifi as real world comments mostly not so good sounding? Lol.

That is so weird, how can it when bi amp the volume cannot for higher. Something must be wrong. Better be careful of what you are doing. It might damage speaker or amp

Looks like freedom version, how much you bought? You sold Monitor Audio for this? lol
