Ok. I've decided to go ahead and buy a receiver next week instead of monkeying aroung with the old system. Looking at the $500-700 range. So far, the Pioneer Elite VSX-21TXH looks pretty good. I will probably go to a Best Buy Magnolia store soon and listen to the ones they have in this price range.
