I personally would love to get a Nakamichi home theatre system, but I don't have $8000+ to spend on it.
The only thing you should be considering is input compatibility. If your equipment is good(and I'll let carolyn be the judge ), then it's good. The only reason to upgrade would be HDMI or DVI compatibility. My center channel was top-of-the-line Polk back in '97(?). It's still performing beautifully. Fronts are from '91 and fill the room adequately. I am in the market for some new fronts because of the need to be wall mounted.

My Denon receiver is still a great piece, but it doesn't have the HDMI hookups. Fortunately, my media receiver for the tv has 2. One is for satellite and the other for dvd player. When PS3 arrives, I'll have to address that.

Charlie: So lieutenant, where exactly were you?
Maverick: Well, we...
Goose: Thank you.
Maverick: Started up on a 6, when he pulled from the clouds, and then I moved in above him.
Charlie: Well, if you were directly above him, how could you see him?
Maverick: Because I was inverted.
Iceman: [coughs whilst saying] Bullshit.
Goose: No he was man, it was a really great move. He was inverted.
Charlie: You were in a 4g inverted dive with a MiG28?
Maverick: Yes ma'am.
Charlie: At what range?
Maverick: Um, about 2 meters.
Goose: It was actually about 1 and a half I think. It was 1 and a half, I've got a great Polaroid of it, and he's right there, must be 1 and a half.
Maverick: Was a nice picture.
Goose: Thanks.
Charlie: Eh lieutenant, what were you doing there?
Goose: Communicating.
Maverick: Communicating. Keeping up foriegn relations. You know, giving him the bird!
Goose: [Charlie looks puzzled, so Goose clarifies] You know, the finger
[gestures apprpriately]
Charlie: Yes, I know the finger, Goose.
Goose: I-I'm sorry, I hate it when it does that, I'm sorry. Excuse me.
When you typed that, did you make the hand jestures as well?

Actually, we're in for a treat. Caroyln's making dinner tonight. I thought Kris went to work, but I guess he didn't go. So he'll be at the house.
