I currently own a Sony DAV-DX155 home theater system and am looking into buying another receiver for this unit. Can I keep the speakers i have (that are wired into the walls) and just buy any new receiver (or maybe just a sony)? I need another receiver so I can enjoy full digital 5.1 surround sound with the devices I own.
One extra thing, how do i hook up the sub woofer that i have on the unit? All the receivers I looked at had no + and – output for the sub woofer.

You can keep the speakers and use any component receiver but make sure that speaker impedance is within the boundaries of the speakers.

As the first chap said, as long as your total impedances are fine for the new receiver, you’re fine.
Don’t, for heaven’s sakes, buy another Sony receiver. There are better makers to buy from, for no more money, and often, for more features for the same money.
Look at Yamaha, Pioneer, Onkyo, and Denon, and have a look for them on amazon.com. Not only do they sell a lot of such gear, their review sections can really give you some great feedback from owners of the equipment.
