Does my 7 channel need some back up?

Need some help here. Primary HT set up. 18x 25 room. Using Def Tech all around. 7004 bi-pole towers. clr2300 center, bpx2's for the surround and back surround. Yamaha rx1500 as pre/pro with a Adcom 7607 doing all the work. I just added the adcom and even though it isn't high end too most on the Gon I noticed a huge improvement. Didn't really have the funds to get into a new pre/pro seeing how i just finished the room and purchased my present system so bought the 7607 off the Gon and am glad i did. Now,after further research and listening i am wondering if and what i should do next. Add a 3 channel amp for the mains and center. I believe Adcom makes one. Or should i run monos or a 2 channel for the mains and leave the 7606 to handle the center. Or is there another way. I have a limited budget so thats why i am looking at Adcom. Also, i figured that using another Adcom/s would match up better since i already have the one. Any suggestions would be a huge help...

I switched from ADCOM to Outlaw Audio and was pleased. For HT it is hard to beat. I got the M200s (now M2200s). Later you can add the 990 pre-pro and you're set.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? You have a 7 channel amp. Are you unhappy with it? Do you need more power? Does it not sound right?
It's hard to suggest if we don't know what you're displeased with.
As it appears it primarily HT, my first thought would be a processor.

Well sound like where I was a year ago. Your amp is fine for the level of speakers. just get it close and use short speakers runs. Also what wire are you runninghtat can make a big difference. Have you gotten into room acustics yet. What are you trying to improve or is that whay you are searching for?

I will check the wire, I know that i told my dealer what my runs were and he recommended it. I dont really want to get into changing it seeing how i wired prior to room being finished. As far as room acoustics i just started researching. I know the Def Techs aren't high-end to most, but i honestly think they sound great(for HT and for me). I have experimented with speaker position(mains) and i believe i am spot on there. i know the yamaha as a pre/pro has some negatives, and adcom is an entry level amp, but for now they are non negotiable(wife) as far as replacing. Question though!, What would you suggest as the next step into seperates? A step that i would notice and would be cost efficient? This way i can work on budget and the wife..thanks for all the feedback..
