When an amp puts out 90 watts....

into 16, 8, or 4 ohms, what does that tell me about the amp? I am use to seeing an amp's output increase, sometimes even doubling, when going from say 8 ohms into 4 ohms.

The amp in question is the Copland CTA 506.

List your whole system and some basics on your room. I'm sure someone will be able to point you in the right direction. As far as room placement goes, thats a great place to start. You'll learn a lot just doing that alone.

What is it that you don't like about your system and what do you expect from an upgrade?
