I have recently upgraded to "Cambridge audio cxa81 mk2". From my previous setup have Sony SS CS5 also and a basic Polk Sub.

1. Could you please suggest which speaker I should buy under 600 USD? I have shortlisted Elac Debut 3 (5 inch) and Elac Debut Reference. I am inclined towards Elac Debut Reference. Please suggest other speakers also.

2. Also, I am planning to put the Sony SS CS5 on the side of the room and whatever I buy on the front. Please share your views on this setup also. Will this setup degrade or improve the listening experience? With two types of speakers, will I be able to enjoy the music or not? Or will solo front speakers sounds the best?
 
You want to put a 2nd pair of speakers on the side? And play both at the same time?

Btw, there are many reviews, audio science review has measurements for elac debut reference and erin's audio corner has a video and measurements for elac debut 3.0

You can check them out. But ultimately you will need to listen to both to find out which sound you will like.

You can also consider the Q acoustics 3020i or newer 3030i. I had a pair of 3020i's and what I liked was the non fatiguing sound on all genres and a really nice midrange. They weren't the most detailed, but but had a nice balance and sounded like a much larger speaker.

Thank you so much for the reply. Planning to consider QA 5020.

Thank you. Would look at those reviews.
 
Congratulation on your purchase, this is a really good amplifier. Watch the review of Oldhifiguy on the same model of amplifier. He has done some testing with few speakers and he is very fine reviewer of audio equipment's. And no need for a second set of speakers for placement at back of room. The new speakers that you will buy will be more then adequate. Ideally I feel Elac debut version 3 is a very good match and there are also speakers from Wharfedale what match with Cambridge cxa81 to a great extent.
