Speaker Upgrade

Hold on a second there, Babalouie. I'm no home theater basher, but for a movies-only setup (no music), you really do not need to go wild on speakers. Make sure you have a great DVD player. Toshiba makes some very good and some very poor players. The Rotel amps may be good enough. Sure you can do better than the Atlantic Technology speakers, but for the quality level you need for movies, you can probably upgrade and still have some cash left for beer wine and all the sangria you can drink.

what type of amp would you suggest?

Before you drop 7k on speakers;/ Think of getting better amplification.---You can get some really great speakers, used here. Then the amp would be the weak link.
I'm not bashing Rotel. It's just that if you turned me loose to pick out 7k in used speakers--I would want better amps to drive my choices.
