    Upgrade sugestions....

    Do you mean just upgrading your speakers or the whole system as it won't be worth spending a $1000 on speakers if you source still isn't up to scratch.

    3D Movies

    Thanks for that and I can see what you are saying makes sense I had hoped to get to CES 2010 to see some of the new technology but now based in the UK so can't easily get over.

    Denon AVR 3200 ebay purchase wise??

    I think you are probably paying over the odds at $90 as this is quite old now in AV terms but if Denon gear is very good quality and won't let you down. I had a Denon system years ago and for what I paid for it the performance was impressive. I wouldn't worry to much about the remote as it will...
