I have a nice Yamaha 5.1 receiver, but up until now I have been using the crapy speakers from my old set up.
I really only want the front 3, not the rear 2, as I won't use them.
Where on earth can I get them from? Not sure what to type in to Google.

3.1 which is centre and the front surrounds (the three) and sub (the .1)

Or you could just buy them individually as I’m not sure there are many, if any 3.1 packages available
I already have a brand new sub, so that's not needed. I have since searched richer sounds and found loads. Not sure why I didn't think about it as that's where the amp came from....doh.

Without mentioning a budget you are impossible to help. I could recommend some perlistens for the front 3 but you might only have the budget for wharfedales.
I didnt ask for recommendations, just where to look. Thanks for your err....help though.

If you make an appointment, Richer Sounds can usually arrange for you to "audition" a few different speakers in your price range, or specific ones you want to try. As you got your amp there they might even be able to do the audition with your model of amp.

Jolly decent company, RS. There's a reason they are still doing well after several decades!
I have to agree. Bought the amp there, two TVs and can't believe I didn't think about speakers there. Top notch.
