would B&W work with cheap japanese recievers?

I am trying to upgrade an old Yamaha HT receiver, 85Wx5 with equally cheap speakers.

Don't want to buy an upmarket receiver yet as they generally don't offer HDMI switching. But would like to get started with speakers, like two front B&W 700 series.

Does this make sense? Or should I upgrade the receiver/speakers togethter.

Go for 3 matching fronts.
It will sound awful for theater with junk as the center channel. In 5.1 or 7.1, the center gets the most work.
If you can only get Right and Left now, your next move should be the matching center.
