weakest link? what would you upgrade?

Sorry. I did overlook your amp. I don't have any direct experiance with Anthem but I highly doubt that it is the weak link in your system. A couple of others mention that you should upgrade upgrade your source. I agree 100%. In your system, it would make the most sense. After that, I would look at a new preamp processor. I know some people may not agree with me on this, but the preamp/processor is a huge factor when it comes to good sound; both in the digital and analog domain. Once again, sorry for my error. I should have been more careful.

Avgoround.. that is one heck of a response, thank you. my room is 25' by 25' sheet rock. 8' ceilings. commercial carpet leather furniture and mutipal heavy drapes for window treatments. i use only half for the home theater. the other half is open to the billiard side of the room. as i am sure there are "better" options for speaker choice in a home theater, i can say i am pretty happy with what i have, the idea of a upgraded front sound stage to possible 802's is a real option. it just seems that it would be possible overkill since the crossover is set to 80.

changing out the entire speaker system is not a financial possibility.

The big question is "where does it hurt"? Obviously you are experiencing displeasure or you wouldn't be here looking in to options of change. Does the sound come off hard? You mention leather furniture and commercial carpet.
These combined can create a type of echo for lack of a better word. Maybe room acoustics are a direction to go.
I am shooting in the dark here.

Not really dissatisfied, i was just looking for opinions. but then again i don't know what would make a large enough difference to make the change, so i ask the question.

I understand, as we all seem to want changes in our system from time to time when many would kill to have what we have. You have a good system equipment wise, maybe cables would create a differents sound that brings a fresh and new excitement. From I read I think you are in a "tweeking" mood and just need to decide where to start.
All just my opinion as I am kinda where you are but unable to move due to budget.

If this is a dedicated game/ ht room then you should look into room treatment. Some bass traps and sound diffuser panels or perhaps adding another one or two subs would be great for HT.

Doing the research on the acoustic panels now.... thanks
