Hi experts,

I'm looking at 2 different setups and would like to ask you guys for some advice.

Setup 1 (Cheaper setup)
ONKYO TX-NR 609 SURROUND RECEIVER x 1 UNIT
KEF Q500 FLOORSTANDER x 1 PAIR
KEF Q200C CENTER SPEAKER x 1 UNIT
KEF C1 COMPACT BOOKSHELF x 1 PAIR
KEF C4 SUBWOOFER x 1

Setup 2 (FULL Q Series Setup)
ONKYO TX-NR 609 SURROUND RECEIVER x 1 UNIT
KEF Q500 FLOORSTANDER x 1 PAIR
KEF Q200C CENTER SPEAKER x 1 UNIT
KEF Q800S DIPOLE SURROUND SPEAKERS x 1 PAIR
KEF Q400B 200 WATTS 10" ACTIVE SUBWOOFER x 1

I've tried setup 2 and was very impressed with the sound quality but the price tag is a little hefty, Setup 1 was suggested by the salesman, he said the surround speakers and subwoofers are less important compared to the floorstander. What do you think of these 2 setups? Would setup 1 be close enough to setup 2?

Cheers

Thanks in advance
