Hi Everyone

I currently have a Yamaha Yas 207 soundbar. It's served me well but I find it lacks when it comes to playing music, which is something i do as well as watching movies. I am by no means a serious audiophile but I enjoy good sound and want to upgrade my system. My room layout is a little awkward and I have attached a few images, its not a dedicated theatre room.

I am looking at getting a Sony DN790 AV Amp as it seems to be reasonably priced for what I need but I am torn on speakers, I have asked for advice in a few places but get told that any of my suggestions are not good enough. I am on a budget and after amp i have around £500 for speakers. I am happy to start with a 3.1 system for now, some have said a 5.1 would be pointless in my room?

I have looked at the following speakers but any advice would be REALLY appreciated.

Whafedale DX2 5.1 Package https://www.richersounds.com/tv-home-cinema/speaker-packages/wharfedale-dx2-black.html
Q Acoustics 3010 Package (i could maybe stretch the 3010i) https://www.richersounds.com/tv-hom...10-x2-3090c-and-3070s-subwoofer-graphite.html

Or a paid of Diamond 220's with smaller surrounds and not sure on the centre and sub?

Really appreciate any advice

Room:

In my previous house, my rears were placed up near the ceiling pointing towards the listening position. You could even have in-ceiling speakers if you want.

Thanks, I think I will put them high up. Do you think on the wall or better on a stand at end of each side of sofa?
