starting a 5.1 or 7.1 surround


I am looking for my best option for a sound system. Box systems get reviews that are less than what i'm looking for. I have equipment from an older stereo that I would like to use if it is possible. So if anyone has knowledge,
here goes; my equip. Adcom amp. #545II 100/rms @ 8/ohm, 150/rms @ 4/ohm. Adcom tuner/preamp. #GTP-350 and a pair of Infinity Kappa 7.1 speakers 6/ohm 30 to 250 watt rms rating. Can any of this equipment be used in a new multi-
channel surround sound system? Thanks for anyones advice.

Thank you very much Theo! This is just the info I was looking for. My budget is limited and am trying to get
the biggest bang for the buck. My taste exceeds my budget
greatly and my wife doesn't understand why there is a need
for great sound.
I am looking at a budget amp "Denon" AVR-2113CI and will need a sub/woofer, center, and two relatively small left & right speakers for the rear. The speakers i'm having a more difficult time finding.
Theo, I am in the dark with how my old 2 channel amp connects to the new multi-channel. Any info on this?

Yes "Old Puck" refers to hockey. I've been a fan since the late sixties, the Original Six days and I was a rink rat where the NYRangers used to practice. I'm the kind of fan that loves watching any good game as well as my team the NYR's. Now with the strike it's been college or EHL.

But my real joy of this game is that I still get to play every week. I've been playing in a men's league for many years and hope I never have to hang up my skates.
Our team does some traveling on tournaments. Do you play? Thanks again for your reply Theo.
