Hi all sifu's,

Need your guidance. I'm setting up a new home theatre room in my new house. Plan to setup for 7.1 speakers system. The room size is 20ft (L) x 9.5ft (W) x 9ft (H).

I have an existing AVR ONKYO TX-NR616 which is 7.2 ready

What is your recommendation if I allow a budget of 3k-5k for whole new set of speakers and sub-woofer?

Any shops to recommend too? KL/Selangor area.

Thanks in advance!

Just wondering what is the weigh between AVR and speakers when come to delivery of good sound effects?

How do I know if my AVR is good enough / not good enough for the home theatre?

If the AVR is powerful enough, then all I need to worry is the speakers only right?

Sorry for the primitive questions.....

"and prepare to get slaughtered".....well said man! This is exactly what I feel when I step into those hi-fi shops.....all the speakers brands with strange names, no market rates to compare with, suspicious wiring to confuse you which speakers actually produce the sounds, etc, etc.....sigh!

Anyone can share their experience if it is worth exploring getting the speakers from Amazon or even Taobao? Singapore shops any cheaper? Worth the effort?
