What I have at present is a 6 year old Panasonic 5.1 all in one box system. I am very happy with it as it has outstanding quality of sound when playing DVDs. The system was rated at 1000RMS.. But now i need to upgrade as the system doesnt have any digital input so i dont get the sound quality from the PS3 games or blu Ray movies.

I was thinking something along the lines of the Denon AVR-1910 which is 7.1. Is this a good system to updrage to? I also have my eye on the Onkyo TX-SR607

also I was also thinking of using my current surround sound speakers as they still pack quite a punch. The front 3 speakers have a sticker on them stating 270w 6ohm. the rears are 170w 6 ohm. Could either the amp or speakers be damaged by cross matching speakers? It would be quite a saving if i could use these speakers as all i would need to get is a powered sub woofer.

thanks for any advise..
I'm not sure I believe 1000WRMS. Put it this way a 500 quid AVR will kick out around 100 to 120ish Watt RMS per channel with lowish distortion figures. Tell us the model number of your all in one and people can go look at the specs and tell you what you actually have and then an idea of its suitablility.
