I have this as my reciever right now (http://www.amazon.com/Sony-STR-DE545-Surround-Receiver/dp/B00004VVUU) bought it about six or seven years ago at Best Buy when I was in high school anyways I'm thinking of upgrading my reciever and or some speakers as well and wanted some advise such as is it worth upgrading yet or wait.

I have a 56" Samsung DLP TV and a PS3. I have all Sony speakers (7 of them including a center speaker) with a sony sub 12" hooked to the PS3 and TV though my reciever. I read somewhere that 60% or so of your sound comes through your center speaker and the one I have isn't half bad but the case is kind of big and right now its not on the tv stand its over to the right side on top of the recever due to the size and I was thinking about getting a new one ---> (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=3253106&type=product&productCategoryId=cat03046&id=1051384450589) its aa Bose its really pricey but slim and nice, I'm worried about mixing speakers but I think that isnt a problem. I want to put my PS3 out because thats under my tv stand along with my DVR so its a tad funny looking to me. Everything is hopoked up through fiber optic cables.

As for the reciever part I'm mixed on this. I dont know if I should upgrade or not. HDMI or fiber optic cable.... here are the two that I have been looking at, not really a fan of the Sony ones (because of how they look :P )(http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8274574&productCategoryId=cat03031&type=product&cmp=++&id=1171057791987) or (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7887726&type=product&productCategoryId=cat03031&id=1149206402596) unless someone else has other ones in mind.

I dont know if I should go out and spend $600 or should I get one or the other. What are your thoughts?
