Want to buy new HT setup, any help appreciated

1-for $1000, you will probably be disappointed with any HITB.
2-Your room is way too large for just about any HITB in the under $2500 range.
3-Definitely use what you can keep-it is nice gear.
Spend the money on a nice HT receiver and Center channel. A good Denon and Paradigm center will eat up your budget yet still sound great. Remember that the center is the most important speaker for theater.
4-Buy a $49 apex dvd until your budget allows a real one.
5-A good sub will alleviate most of the strain on a receiver. Even though your speakers can put out nice bass, you will need to handle the .1 of a 5.1 system somehow.

I agree, for that size room definately keep the paradigms
Get a good center channel and decent receiver, pick up some inexpensive rear's for now and enjoy.

Umm,, dont get an apex dvd however.
you can pick up a used Denon 3700 for around 200 which is a MUCH better option.

Enjoy!

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestions .. I think its a good idea to get Paradigm center .. and Sub and probably get Paradigm atoms as rears, I have pioneer and Samsung DVD .. but as I am thinking of upgrading main speakers probably to Sonus Faber, How the other speakers and sub will work with it, receiver may be outlaw ($499 model ?), let me know what do you think of this, or if you have any other suggestions, please let me know.

Thanks,
