Receiver and power amp or bigger receiver?

[mtrycraft]

The newer Yamaha receivers sound a bit better than mine from what I've heard. Maybe I could keep the receiver and just add better amplification?

Well, don't believe everything you hear

I seriously doubt you have a receiver problem. How large is your room? Which surround speakers? Can you do rear center with your setup now?
Did you level match all the speakers in the new setup?

Using Paradigm Reference Studio 20's for surround. I don't have a problem with my receiver, just wondering if I can upgrade to something that's better. It's the oldest piece in my setup. It's a DTS decoding 5.1 receiver. All the speakers are level matched (well, according to my SPL meter, however good that is). I'm sure I could better match my sub to my speakers but it's close enough for now. Bass isn't the problem. Just wondering what I can do.

Is there anything you are dissatisfied with your setup? If not, I don't see any benefit to upgrading.
