Next step in upgrading my home theater system??

I posted this in the wrong forum....so here it is

I want to make calculated steps in upgrading my HT setup and unfortunately I do have a budget As for now I have B&W DM603 fronts, s600 center and S601's for rear surround powered by a Yammy rx v2400 130w X 7 receiver with an Oppo upscaling DVD player going to a Panny projector. Eventually I want to jump into a 1080 projector (now I have 720) and Blu-Ray and also upgrade my audio. My question is do I keep my current B&W speakers and add something like a Rotel 1075 120Wx5 amp? Or is it better to upgrade my front speakers and then add power? Adding the Rotel 1075 would be a pretty easy addition but would it make a difference in sound quality? I watch a lot of concert DVD's followed by HI Def sports and then movies.

Thanks for the advice!

I moved to Rotel seperates from an Onkyo A/V receiver . It sounded like I had taken a blanket off of my speakers , which were fairly efficient at 89db. ! I had better clarity , dynamics , definition and extension .

I don't think that you have heard what your speakers are 'really' capable of doing !

Good luck.

I think that Rotel may have better name recognition and reputation . Important when it comes to resale !

Speakers are more easily damaged from to little power than too much . I wouldn't worry about it .

Good luck .
