Default speaker advise

i bought my yamaha cinema amp and got it today.now im in need of the speakers and sub.
the sub needs to be an active version. and i wouldnt mind using the full 7 channels for surround
any suggestions on a reasonable priced kit to do it.havent got loads to spend so i want something fairly good for a year or two till i can afford some proper ones like kef or b&o


cheers people

plenty of second hand stuff thats good, via ebay, and if it dont suit your needs, wont lose to much cash selling it on.

personally, got mission fronts, B&W centre and some eltax bipolar rears and a real sub, does the job

Kef Eggs are wall mountable or can sit on a surface, it comes with an active sub as well



if u look in that pic, my sub box is to the lower right, 2 kef eggs are wall mounted either side my tv, and the centre speaker sits just below my amp.

Ive had em for a few years now, but still awesome quality!

And yes, I've boxed in the cables under the tv now!
