    Upgrading everything would be best. But if that's too much. Start with the Fronts, then the Center at least.

    Look for efficient larger sized bookshelves or towers like the M series or the TSIs.

    Depends on your budget. You have some limitations in terms of the power the Onkyo can generate so I'd stay with the above lines!

    Cnh is right on the money for the course to take. Thats how i upgraded, Rm6750, Rti6 bookshelves, and ultimately Rti-a7's. Of course like he made mention, bring up your center also, which is really your most important speaker.
    Receiver: Pioneer Elite SC-05
    Amp: Emotiva Xpa-3
    Front L/R: POLK Rti-a9s':D
    Center:POLK Csi-a6
    Rear surround's:POLK Rti-a1s'
    Sub: Klipsch Synergy sub-12
    Sony Kdl-46w4100 46" LCD

    I run a 5.1 system myself. 2 in fact. The surround back go a few feet or so depending on your room directly behind the listening position as the surrounds are pretty much on either side of you.
