Hi, thanks for your advise, appreciate that however now that i ady have the NS-P20 with me which still remain unopen like i said before. so if i really go for sony sscs3 then i have to sell this ns-p20. wad kind of price i can sell, it is totally new still in the box.
the thing is i still wish to get 5.1 which left right front speaker and back two surround + 1 subwoofer. If RM700 is too low but RM1200 only allow to get 2 floorstanders then how much i have to pay for a 5.1 speaker and match with RX-V379?
Not sure how much you'd be able to sell it. RM600 maybe? I don't really know.
I know you have a pretty decent space to setup a 5.1 system, but are you sure there aren't any boundaries to the SL/SR positions?
All these speaker matching with AVR talks is quite dumb to be very honest with you. What? Are they physical organic creatures that needs to mate with one another or something? If a pair of speakers is deemed "warm", does that mean one have to find an AVR that is not equally "warm" then? It's stupid audiophile talk. What matters is power, reliability, features and price.
You can use your NSP20 to get a 5.1 and you don't have to spend another dime than what you already have (okay maybe some cables and a pair of stands perhaps). It all depends on how picky you are with sound, how much better you want. For me personally, RM7-10k is about just enough for a decent 5.1 setup. So it varies from person to person.
My suggestion remains; get the best Left + Right + Center speakers you can get first, then get a competent sub (not a toy sub),
THEN decide on the surround speakers.
