Two more used Adcom GFA-555s or start over?

I am currently using a Denon 2910, Outlaw pre/pro and a single Adcom GFA-555. So far I have been listening two channel only via Paradigm Studio 100's. I have the matching Studio center speaker (the model # escapes me) and a HSU VTF3. I am looking to put together the missing pieces, starting with the amplification.

Should I purchase used Adcoms or start over with a multi channel amp like an Outlaw? I will use the system for mostly DVD concerts and multi channel audio. I just purchased several SACD and DVD-A after researching on Audiogon. I have enjoyed all of them; Dire Straits "Brothers in Arms", Elton John "Captain Fantastic...", Steely Dan "Gaucho", etc.

All suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

If you like what you have so far, why not keep going with that? Starting over means more system matching which is always a trick to get juuust right. You have good stuff. Could you even HEAR another 5% better?

So many times I think we all get caught up in trying to do BETTER and we only end up with DIFFERENT.

Is there something you are missing now? Highs, lows, clarity, dynamics?

The ROOM means a LOT. Maybe if you have some money left over by going used, you can do some room treatment.

System synergy is then what puts the magic in the room.

Good luck!
