Receiver Too Weak?


Below is my setup. It just sounds lackluster and I'm wondering if it's my receiver or something else. I put some links in there so it's easy to find specs. 

Receiver: Yamaha RX-A770 (https://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio_visual/av_receivers_amps/rx-a770_u/specs.html#product-tabs)

Center: Bowers & Wilkins HTM62 (https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/bowers-and-wilkins/htm62.shtml)

Front: Bowers & Wilkins CM8 (https://hometheaterhifi.com/reviews/speaker/floor-standing/baw-cm8-bookshelf-speakers/)

Thanks!

Home theater specifically. My biggest complain is that either the dialogue is too low relative to the other sounds or vice versa. I can’t ever seem to get them both to be the proper relative volume. 

First, thank you all for the responses and sorry for being slow to respond myself. I think these are the answers to the questions I saw…

1. I don't really listen to a ton of music on the system. I watch tv/movies and play video games. 

2. The sub is a Martin Logan (https://www.martinlogan.com/en/product/dynamo-500)

The floor speakers are bi-amped and the setup for it in the receiver settings is done. Should I undo that? If I understand correctly that would reduce the power which will make them perform worse, but maybe the balance will be better until I can improve my equipment? Or does bi-amping not really work as well as it sounds like it should?
