Help design my new system

Ok my wife and I have given up on the surround system upstairs, and are moving it downstairs. This system will be built next year. So right now, we use the upstairs to watch movies, on just two main speakers, and a separate subwoofer. And use it for music a lot. My current system is this...

Pioneer 720P Plasma... We love
Usher CD 100
Cambridge Auio 640r Receiver
Rotel amp to run my VMPS sub
PSB Imagine T speakers.

I would like to supply more power to my speakers. So doing so I think I need to go with a Pre/Pro and separate amp just for the two PSB's. I would be willing to invest $3000 but less if possible. How would you invest 3K into this system to make is a GREAT 2 channel music system, that we can still enjoy movies, when we don't need the full experience we will have downstairs. Thanks!

You are very smart for going after a 2 ch. setup IMHO.
Most people agree that the speakers are the most important gear, so perhaps you can think about upgrading the speakers as well - you can do it for 3k if you go used.

Why did you want more power in your system, can I ask?

If you really need power, perhaps a pro amp like a crown upper level ones will be your cup of tea...
