As I was writing Had 2 many things going thru mind. need 2 upgrade rec.because it will not decode everything. Here is info on my rec.http://www.docs.sony.com/release/HTDDW670_OM.pdf Would I still be better off with better speakers or new rec. both will be upgraded but only one at a time. The current speakers did not come with HTIB. Also with sony trinitron 30" HD 1080i would I benefit from blu-ray or upconversion.

hope this is somewhat understandable.

Hope to gain a wealth of knowledge and maybe use it.
