Thanks for the reply not sure if i can find the extra money to upgrade amp as well, unless you know of any cheaper good quality digital amps ! not that cheap and good quality go together much! but will look around have seen some all in one panasonic blu ray home cinema 1000watts but its about 650 ! so would think i could use speakers i have and attach them to a new amp? but would need a amp that would take the cables which have no end (bear wire) if that makes sense ! dont think pana do one thanks again mjsummer.
