Has anyone ever try to paint the metal speaker stand black and can I get a black grill for the front or is that insane. Has anyone come across this problem?

I can not say that I have ever heard of anyone painting there metal speaker stand. But if you have speaker grills that have cloth on them, then you should be able to get some black speaker cloth and change it.
My old Altec A-7's had the old guitar amp speaker cloth and I recovered them and the Polk CS-100 under my HDTV.
May I suggest that if you are going to upgrade your receiver you could go with the Panasonic DM30 and bitstream the audio to your receiver. I also highly recomend SVS subwoofers as they work very well and the price is not bad ether. I own a Yamaha as well and it is getting upgraded by the end of the year. You might want to look at Denon and Onkyo receivers and maybe Integra as well. I agree with Gene that I would go with bigger speakers, maybe not as big as the ones in my picture.
But I would go bigger than the satalite speakers you are currently using. Speakers are the biggest part of your sound so I would look into that area. One thing to consider is that while Infinity makes a nice speaker the are not the most efficent speaker on the market. I would go with a 7.1 configuration with a 12" subwoofer. Hope this helps?
