Is my system bottlenecked?

My system is composed of:
anthem avm20v2
anthem tube\hybrid cd player
rotel rb976
rotel rb970
B&W 604s3 lcr600s3 (center)
Mirage omnipolars (rears)
SVS Cs20-39

I'm very happy with my preamp and pretty happy with my cd player. I feel like either my speakers (main) or my amp are the weakest link. I'm bi-amping the mains with the 976 giving them about 120 watts each.

I'd like to make an overall improvement to my sound and am not sure if replacing the speakers or the amps would be more cost effective.

I think it depends on your budget. You have decent front speakers, and fed the right amplification, can sound very good. I don't think you are currently feeding them enough power. I would try to find a used Classe 200 wpc amp. I don't think you are acheiving what you really want when you bi amp with those Rotel amps.

I think they will come alive if you give them enough power.
