Don't know where yours is located or how much room there is. On mine the system (sound/DVD/CD/radio) is located in a narrow slot in the cabinet beneath the TV so I have somewhat limited room. Also the front speakers are built into that cabinet.
I took measurements and went to Best Buy. They had several different models of home theater systems from several different manufacturers, Sony, Samsung, Panasonic, and another or two. The one closest in size to my original was a Panasonic 5.1 blu-ray home theater system complete with new speakers also close in size. Bought the blu-ray since we already had a blu-ray DVD system and some blu-ray DVDs at home. The system fit into my cabinet fine. But the speakers were slightly larger requiring me to cut the speaker openings a little to get them in. Used the existing speaker wiring to the surround sound speakers.
But install was not too bad and the sound is much better than the no-name unit I had before that died. The original lasted about 2 years.
Replaced both TVs several years ago with Samsung TVs.
