Hello Audioholics!
Thank you in advance for any comments and advice!
I have a Yamaha RX-V377 (purchased a few years ago) and would like to pair the AV with a nice set of 5.1 speakers. I dont want to upgrade to a new AV until the day I have my own home and can invest into a proper fitting setup. For the moment this will pass-through 4k and has enough HDMI channels for all my peripherals. Except bluetooth (I have an adapter) and the networking feature, it has all I need.

100w per channel (8ohms, 1kHz, 0.9% THD, 1 ch driven) *
70w per channel (8ohms, 20Hz-20kHz, 0.09% THD, 2 ch driven) **
Dynamic Power/ch (Front L/R, 8/6/4/2 ohms) 110/130/160/180 W ***
Room size W7m L4m H3m - Rough measurements but hopefully works as a guide.
From my research I considered the Q Acoustics 3010i 5.1 but they are 6 ohms so I believe would not be the best fit.
Questions:
* Im curious why they would not add a Hz range here?
** When would this statistic be relevant? If I wanted to run a 2.1 system only?
*** I dont event know where to start here. Does this mean I can safely use speakers that are 6,4 & 2 ohms? Is this relevant if all my speakers are not rated to 8 ohms?
The main purpose of these speakers will be for film use (Action / Thriller / Comedy) as well as some music (D&B, House, RNB, pop).
Budget would be up to £800 GBP or $1'000 USD.
The look can be anything except a cheap veneer. A Single color mat/gloss is fine.
Hopefully this is enough info but if you need any more please feel free to ask. Honestly I have sunk hours looking at speakers and I'm back where I started. Any advice or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

p.s. some companies I have come across in my search (mainly for my reference) - let me know if I should steer away from any or any I should look into.
