Help needed in Amplifier please!

[admin_exported]

Dear fellow members!

I have decided to buy the following speakers and need a decent amplifier for that. I am totally naive, so need your please.

Speakers:
Front Speakers : 1050i (£300) or 1030i (£220)
Rear Speakers : QA Wall Mount Rear Speakers (£78)
Center Speaker : 1000Ci (£88)
Subwoofer : QAV as wall mount (£216) OR 1000Si (£180)

Your comments are most welcome for speakers and really need help in choosing Amplifier please.

Ok system seems a bit of a mix match, I would look at the 1030i and 1050i that's fine, but i would go for the 1010i's for centre and rear, maybe sub as well but' that's not quite as important. Reason for this the i stands for improvement and the sub a lot better, alternatively the Tannoy customs, or MA vectors. Amp wise Onkyo for movies 875/876 not so good for stero and Sony, Yamaha seem impossible to get so maybe the new up and coming models for Yamaha and Denon may suit you. For me it's the Onkyo plenty of power and grunt not as musical as others and slighty lacking some refinement but fanatasic for movies. Hope this may help

Many thanks for your suggestions about speakers.

I would love to have allrounder amplifier but my preference is to movies then music.

I have just googled and find out the following:

[*]YAMAHA DSPAX863SE (£587)[*]Onkyo TX-SR875 Refurbished (£500)
[*]Sony STR-DG820 7.1 Channel Receiver (£ 254) (Edit: This is used one)

* Onkyo TX-SR875 Refurbished is very powerful but don't know if it will be right for me as my living room size is only 15feet X 14feet?

** Sony DG820 has got 5 star raring by whathifi and is very cheap as compare to other. (EDIT: just chcked its used like new, don't know if i will buy it. Onkyo refurb looks better option)
