Desa Home Theatre guys will be guiding you. Just state your budget to them but still I will highly recommend you go for a proper av receiver and satellite speakers for beginner. Hari Raya sales will be a smart choice to buy and if not either by October this year or by early January next year. 

Happy hunting

Now you are talking!

Yes, there are bargains around. Any of these will blow the HTiB away 

Quite expensive stuff in the website.
For instant vbizz = Yamaha AV RX -V379 = RM1966.30
Other websites it cost only about RM1399

8x3 meter quite a medium room. your tv install at long wall or short wall?
for best quality. buy avr with front 3 channel first. not much going on rear spkrs. u need to spare money for cable too (usually not included)

Only the v581, v681 and v781 will have Atmos and DTSX support.
The v481 and v381 doesn't have Atmos or DTSX, which makes sense because they do have a smaller power supply and driving more than 5 channels will not be a smart thing to do (that's why they only support 5.2).
Sony KLCC.
That was a few months ago (in Jan IIRC). Definitely promo over already.
Saw those speakers at Harvey Norman Pavilion. I think they're going for RM2999 or something. The towers are decent, but the center and surround satellites are laughable toys.

Is a bit pack if you wall mount your speaker

Your place too cramped. Better stick to Satellite System.

It's your seating space. Too little space even to move about. You speakers not enough separation space sideways.

With your space, you have 2 choices:

1) Get a satellite based system.
2) Get a pair of bookshelfs.
If I were you, I'd get a pair of good quality small bookshelfs or satellites and an intergrated amp, then call it a day. Then when you have the space, you can move those small bookshelfs for surround duties and get a bigger, higher-end LCR.

Maybe a pair of Q Acoustics 2020 or SVS Prime Satellites would best fit your area.
If you absolutely want to cram in a bookshelf with 5.25" drivers or bigger, then your choices are very limited.

You simply don't have the space to accommodate anything larger. Remember, doesn't mean you have the space to place the speakers, it will work well. You need some space from the boundaries of your wall (back and side), otherwise things will sound boomy, muddy and your soundstage will be limited. If the speakers are vented, you can plug them, but you will need a sub to overcome the loss of low-end. That's another area where you have to find space.

*EDIT*
That floor space infront of your TV is also a big reflection point that you will want to attend to, at least put a rug there.

The sound will be totally unbalanced. Absolutely no space on the left and free open area on the right, extending towards the back. I suggest better get a HTiB and be done with it  . Save you a whole lot of money.

I have owned a HTiB, satellites and floorstanding/bookshelf.

HTiB is only slightly better than TV speakers. Satellites plus a sub is few notch better than HTiB.

IMHO, if you are really going for a HTiB, might as well just use the TV speakers.

It's very cramped obviously. Forget about floor speakers. A pair of bookshelf speakers provided with a center speaker will do. I have no idea where to put those surround speakers. No space for subwoofer too! I am eager to know the right hand side of your hall. In my opinion that would be a better location. The left side of your current tv location doesn't have any free wide space for the sound. Suddenly I'm thinking of wireless speakers for you! 

Anyway, you have a beautiful tempered glass tv cabinet tho.....  :thumbsup:

Anything but HTiB! 

SVS Prime Satellites are probably the best satellites I've ever heard. You must mate it with a sub though, on its own it cannot produce much bass.

Other than speakers, you have other issues to attend to first lol... just looking at that pic, the amount of bare walls is a recipe for an insane amount of echo. DIY some acoustic panels with a texture of your choice to go along with your decor, hang it on the left side of the wall. Get a rug, put it on the floor. Those are some starting points.

Of course, it's your house so... don't take my suggestion as something you must do. But my point is, the room is equally as important as speaker choice. You can buy $50,000 speakers but if the room's condition is poor, it's still going to sound like crap.

Considering you have limited space, this sample might suit you best. An av receiver, a pair of bookshelf speakers, a center speaker and a subwoofer.

You know bro, you will enjoy the movie more with these amazing sound.  :thumbsup:

Should go for q acoustic 3020

Any chance of moving your tv cabinet and tv to the left wall? With your new 4k tv you should be sitting closer to the tv anyway. Maybe floorstands will become possible then?

You can also check out used speakers and AVRs which can sometimes give you great value for your money.

One more thing, speakers are a very personal thing. While the recommendations by the sifus here help to narrow down your choices, you should still listen to those speakers yourself and find out whether you like them.
