2000$ - 7y old speakers - Better speakers today ?
Speakers get old and break down, other than that their has been no big break threw in speaker design in years. They all move air one way or another. I think the biggest break threw would be lighter,faster drivers. 
HT advice
You can get a good deal on multi channel amp and pre pro processor at outlaw audio. 5-channel amp, two hundred watts per channel $1299. preamp processor $899. They have a deal going on right now at their web site - Processor+7 channel amp $2500. I... 
Please help with subwoofer.
If its only for movies then I would go with the two F-1800 set up. Thats a big area and you need to move a lot of air so I think you would do better with the two sub set up. One thing thats nice to try with two subs is to put one up front and one ... 
Recommended Carrier for Speaker Shipments
Shipped my krell amp in for rebuild a while back (150 lb.) so I used their shipper. They will not use ups or fedex. Krell is in CT. so you could call them and they will give you the # of the company they use. Costs a little more but might make you...

What size subwoofer to get?
How big is your room? Do you have a tv or anything between your speakers? What are your main speakers-brand?What spl's do you listen at? Wood or carpet on floors?

Which components knocked you out on first listen?
There were some electrostatic speakers I listened to back in the 70's made by a man named Harold Beveridge,I think they were just called Beveridge.I think his son is trying to bring back the brand. Some of the best speakers I have listened to. 
An odd idea
Putting a better amp on your main speakers will not hurt your movie sound at all,it will make it better. I have done it. Your speakers are a good match for each other so it will sound fine. 
Best Dark Sounding Amp For Bright Speakers?
The kappa line of speakers can be a little to bright with cd's. I would first try some cheap room-speaker tweaks to tame them down a little. What cd player are you using?. You might try a little felt strip on the sides or around the tweater area o... 
Integrate 2-channel or go all 5 channel
If you think your taste in music will not be changing for a good while then I would forget all about two channel and go for the best 5-7 channel system you can swing. sacd+dvd 5.1 system would give you the most fun for that kind of music. Make sur... 
Sunfire's new "Ultimate Receiver worth 4 grand?
If you want movies and music in an easy to use system it is a good deal. If you look around you can find it cheaper than that. The processor is very good if it is the same as the theatergrand. I have a theatergrand and it is killer and is very eas...
