I just set up my 5.1 HT with the following components:

Amp: Onkyo TX-SR705
Front: Mission M32i
Centre: Mission M3c2i
Rear: Mission 760i (>10 year old pair but still sound great!)
Subwoofer: Wharfdale WH210 (great value for branded 10" subs)

I don't recommend Yamaha speakers...they are know for excellent amps but not for their speakers. I tested a top of the range Yamaha 5.1 set (>RM15,000) and I must say it sounded mediocre. My whole system cost me less than RM6k and I am very happy with it for its value.

CMY ? is that the full name of the shop biggrin.gif

Horray about the sub woofer, i heard that Wharfdale don't know how to make a decent sub woofer. Is that true ?

Ps: what did you get for surround ?

Yes, CMY. They're also located at LG Sg Wang Plaza & 1 Utama (old wing).

Wharfedale, not decent? I guess it is a matter of preference as well as budget. For RM700, it is definitely good enough for me.

My surrounds are my old Mission speakers 760i. Good enough to start off...slowly upgrade in future. I don't have a bottomless pocket full of money! cry.gif

You should try the surrounds using the Mission centre piece...it sounds really good and cost only RM700 (RM350 each @ 50% off). I didn't do so because I still have my old Missions which works well. No reason to upgrade. hmm.gif

YEs, that's the one. Mine is black ash colour. Put them as surround, not bad!
