bought a denon amp to replace it

now i need to sort out speakers for the set up , its a 7.1 amp so what do i need and what should i get ? i dont have a fortune to spare , so secondhand stuff is not a problem , so i need front, centre,rear and what other speakers?

I use mission speakers and a velodyne sub cost £400 second hand but look on the bay.
I wouldnt bother going 7.1 if your rooms small/medium size 5.1 is more than fine.
How much do you want to spend?

not sure how much yet around £300 i have a denon amp so thats taken care of , but i really like how small the bose cube speakers are! but if i were to get 4 of them and the small centre speaker , could i use any subwoofer , or does it have to be a bose one to?

No

Get 3 pairs of JBL control ones from RS for £150- (use all 6 in a 6.1 setup, no difference between that & 7.1 as the centre back channel speakers are mono)

Then get a Minotaur sub for another £150- (google it)

They're good little speakers for the price, JBL have been making them for a long time now. & yep -They'll beat those Carppy AS speakers hands down.
