Sound issues

Here is my current set up. Marantz AV7701, Mac MC205, Oppo 103, PS3, SF Liuto towers, SF Liuto Smart center, SF Toys Monitors (on order), Audioquest GBC speaker wires. The bass is there, but the center seems to be over powered by the towers and missing the highs and mids from the towers. In fact it sounds worse than the set up at the store running a Arcam AV. I have a old Monster surge protector, could that be it? Is it the speaker cables? I'm just at a lost, opinions, thoughts?

Dedicated line is not an option for me. I will try covering up the tweeter on the center and see. I ran the audessey, and to me it sounded worse.

Tested the tweeter and it is good. I do notice a hum coming from the speaker when I get close.

I have the amp plugged directly into the wall. Monster has everything else plugged into it.

Thank you, the issue has been resolved, replaced the Marantz with the Yamaha CXA5000, replaced the front speakers with SF Cremonas and replaced the surge protector with a Furman.
