I currently have a Rotel RSDX-02 (http://www.audioreview.com/A-V+Receivers/ROTEL/PRD_298801_2718crx.aspx) A/V Reciever hooked up to a pair of B&W 705's (http://www.audioreview.com/Main+Speaker/B&W/PRD_300021_1594crx.aspx) bi-wired with Kimber Kables.... I was looking into investing in a center speaker, a subwoofer, and possibly an amp to bump up the power to the power hungry B&W's I would appreciate any suggestions. Happy Holidays to everyone!!!

For the center speaker, but a matching sub is not nessasary. A big YES to a larger amp for the mains, ESPECIALLY for Home Theater. It was quite an eye-opener for my friend when he put my PS Audio 200c amp into his setup (400wpc into 4 ohms). He has a vintage pair of B&W Matrix III's, and after adding the amp it was like he bought a whole new set of speakers. There's a feeling of totally uncompressed dynamics when you have this kind of power.
