I bought a Yamaha Rx-v385 av receiver and now looking for 5 set speaker and a subwoofer for my living hall

I am located at ipoh so my option is very limited. There is a local shop that sell used speaker set in the photo. There is 3 sets. 2 yamaha and 1 pioneer. I dont know much about speaker. Is used set worth buying of in tight budget?

Also can anyone recommend me a active subwoofer on shoppe or lazada to buy... My budget is under rm1k for subwoofer.
I was looking to buy this yamaha sub ns-sw100 for rm800 but its only 50 watts. Feels really underpower.

There is 2 option. Polk psw110 rm1k. But that sub is released 10 years ago with same msrp. Another one is rogers asb-120m for rm700. Ipoh is really limited

Try to buy base on specs, which can go lower, and how does it sync with your existing speaker frequencies (can it cover the frequencies your speaker can't)

Depends what you want to do with it, watch movies, watch astro ?
Listen to music / mp3 ?

You want to blast your speaker / subwoofer ? But did you consider your neighbours as well ?

I bought these. In total i spent rm3700 including ns-sw100 yamaha subwoofer... In the end i feel really disappointed with the results. I was expecting to be blown away or at least some improvement. I was using a used pioneer home theater i bought for rm300 like 8 years ago. There isnt that much of improvement... I tried all the setiings and the placement of speakers. Got to say i feel like i completely wasted all that money for nothing. I am not an audiophile expecting alot.. I just a regular person who watch tv everyday.
