Best 5:1 system at the moment?
Discussion
You probably won't be able to recycle your existing all in one unit speakers, so either look for a new all in one and bin the existing, or buy something like the Denon above and gradually buy the speakers you need as budget allows. You can run 2.0 to start with if you have to (go easy on the bass though).
You will also need an active subwoofer since you won't be able to use the passive one from your existing all in one unit.
'Best' is very widely open to interpretation though; I guess that best for under £1k is what you mean as like most hobbies you can easily spend waaaay more if you get a taste for it...
Have a look at places like Richer Sounds for speaker packages. Sometimes they do an amp and speaker package, including an active sub (though I'd typically recommend looking elsewhere for the sub, such as BK Electronics).

That's quite a bit of money for some fairly old (but no doubt good in its day) gear. I expect the OP at least wants something that is HDCP 2.2 compatible so it can handle 4K going forwards.conkerman said:
