Hi guys I have been to richersounds and they recommended me
Denon AVRX2300 400 pounds
YAMAHA NSF51 speakers 150
CAMBRIDGE AUDIO
SX120 150pounds
Total 700

What do you think about this ? I made an appointment to see how they sound. Any advice would be appreciated
 
At the moment i want to buy a relatively good base as I probably going to do surround 5.1 later on. Plus I dont have more money to spend unless I dont buy sub and put that money towards better speaker and buy sub later?

The living room is quiet small 10m by 12m appox
 
I'm completely new to HIFI so are there any difference between floor standing speakers vs smaller ones that you can put on the stand. No idea what they are called.

When I was at richer sound I was also recommended DALI ZENSOR 3 if I want to step up in my budget. Any ideas?

is that room feet or meters as i wouldn't class 10m by 12m as small :o

I've got a denon avr-x2200w matched with q acoustic 2020i front and rear and a mission 700c centre, with no sub and am very happy with the sound produced. Room is about 15ft by 18ft and I'm mainly a movie watcher.

More than welcome to come listen if local to tunbridge wells, although at the moment there's a stupid tree in the way of front left ;)

Thanks for the offer but unfortunately I'm quite far away from you (Plymouth). The room dimensions are in meters.

I think im going to hold for the minute in buying it and see if there is going to be any deal on boxing day. Although I doubt it would be.

I was thinking about buying second hand however I never heard a good HIFI system in my life. (Im only 24) The only speakers I was listening for the last 8 years are Bose companion 3 so I dont know what to look for while buying used. I don't want to buy a broken speaker. I arrangerd with richer sounds to view the YAMAHA NSF51 and CAMBRIDGE AUDIO SX80 speakers with the Denon 2300w av receiver.

Anyway guys thanks for your help. I highly appreciate it!

Here we have a great opportunity to grab a fantastic bargain.
This set up cost me well over £1800 new!!
Tannoy oak speakers,
onkyo txnr515 monitor audio rear speakers,
tannoy subwoofer ts2.10,
expensive professional cables,
full setup originally over £1800
Fantastic condition, awesome sound, Hardly used, if your into your hi fi stuff for his us the stuff to have.
I have reduced this from £500 to £375 as I'm desperate for the space it's sitting at n the hall way getting in the way.
Merry Christmas.

Im not sure what model they are as the seller hasn't replied yet. However, I think they are XT from 2014/15. Are the onkyo that bad? What about the speakers how do they compare to other speakers on the market compare to others?

Also is there anything to look out for when buying new speakers 2nd hand as I never purchased one 2nd hand and also never heard speakers above 200 pounds ;/


Update

This are the speakers
Tannoy Revolution R2 the main ones I think at least it's how they look like. Still waiting for update from the seller
