I thought I would step it up a notch, so I wouldn't have to buy a new one for a while.

That's funny.

When my dad started talking about a home theatre, my stepmother said, "what do we that for?" Now they have about 50 DVDs and she loves it.

My dad and stepmom said a DVD player was a poor investment when I bought my first one. It cost over 500 dollars. Now look, they are so inexpensive for entry level. I saw one at Walmart for $120. I now have a collection of 140 DVDs. Every Tuesday when the new releases are available it grows. I should have about 1000 by the time I'm 30. (I am 21 now)

This is my advice to win your wife over. Play her music when you are setting it up. She'll be won over.

Its so much fun. My system is on every minute I am home. The speakers on my TV are actualy shut off. All video and sound goes through my reciever.

Damn Boy! You are my hero. Great idea! My wife loves The Eagles. I will get that video of them in concert. Crank that up and she will warm right up to the idea!

If it's a 6.1 or 7.1 channel receiver with 75Watts X 5 Channels. That would imply that 5 channels have internal amplification and 2 are unamplified. One would need to buy powered speakers or additional amps to run non-powered speakers for the two non-amplified channels. The .1 or LFE channel in usually non-amplified as well.
