When to upgrade to new speakers

[Shaishav_Udani]

Hi - I dropped by Yamaha showroom yesterday.. They have got this Yamaha NSP51 and NSP350 center and surround sound speakers.. do you think I should consider upgrade to either of these from current NSP150? Or do you think adding two Yamaha music cast 20 wireless for surround would be a better deal? Really appreciate your inputs please. I have provided the specs of all these three speakers. Also to mention I'm using Yamaha RXV-4A AV receiver. So please let me know the compatibility as well
