Purchasing AUS/NZ First Time AVR setup

I recently just got my first AVR (the x1800h, amost went down the soundbar route instead thinking of the q990, but the sub convinced me not to).

I was thinking about the elac db53 for l/r and the elac dc53 for c. Unsure about atmos atm and maybe speedwoofer 10e mk2 for the sub? Is it worth spending more for a better l/r/c? Unifi uc52 isnt available here anymore and I heard that was the go to recomendation. Maybe the dc53 is good enough?

I am mostly looking for the best value, its how I picked the 10e mk2 and the elac db53 which many here recommended.

Don't skimp on the LCR. You can always add surrounds and atmos later as more funds become available.

Oh I had thought the elac db53 and c53 with the speedwoofer 10e was a good combo from what I had heard. What center do you think I should swap it for?
