Does my 7 channel need some back up?

Need some help here. Primary HT set up. 18x 25 room. Using Def Tech all around. 7004 bi-pole towers. clr2300 center, bpx2's for the surround and back surround. Yamaha rx1500 as pre/pro with a Adcom 7607 doing all the work. I just added the adcom and even though it isn't high end too most on the Gon I noticed a huge improvement. Didn't really have the funds to get into a new pre/pro seeing how i just finished the room and purchased my present system so bought the 7607 off the Gon and am glad i did. Now,after further research and listening i am wondering if and what i should do next. Add a 3 channel amp for the mains and center. I believe Adcom makes one. Or should i run monos or a 2 channel for the mains and leave the 7606 to handle the center. Or is there another way. I have a limited budget so thats why i am looking at Adcom. Also, i figured that using another Adcom/s would match up better since i already have the one. Any suggestions would be a huge help...

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? You have a 7 channel amp. Are you unhappy with it? Do you need more power? Does it not sound right?
It's hard to suggest if we don't know what you're displeased with.
As it appears it primarily HT, my first thought would be a processor.

Unless the wire is really pathetic, I suggest you have better plabes to start. First, in relation to the wire, ensure that the ends are clean and oxidation free - it never hurts to look - cheap tweek.
If you like your speakers that's great. Suggestion - HT preamps - The old Classe SSP-25's, 30's, 60's are supurd at their prices points, as are the Theta units. I have a Sunfire III - it's great in SS, but also has a "tubey" sound in 2-channel. The II piece is selling cheap recently - also very fine.
Are those the Def Tech's with subs? If so you don't need huge power
Adcomom generally sounds OK. Anthem MCA-3 or 30, Classe CAV75 and Proceed Amp3 are a real step up in sound at a reasonable price. Total for amp and pre - $2200. You'd notice SERIOUS improvement.
