Is my system bottlenecked?

My system is composed of:
anthem avm20v2
anthem tube\hybrid cd player
rotel rb976
rotel rb970
B&W 604s3 lcr600s3 (center)
Mirage omnipolars (rears)
SVS Cs20-39

I'm very happy with my preamp and pretty happy with my cd player. I feel like either my speakers (main) or my amp are the weakest link. I'm bi-amping the mains with the 976 giving them about 120 watts each.

I'd like to make an overall improvement to my sound and am not sure if replacing the speakers or the amps would be more cost effective.

What are you referring to when you say new front end? Sorry for my noobness. Also, the cables are kimber 4pr

The mid bass and the higher frequencies sound good to me..I think. But I feel like the mids, vocals and etc, may be a bit thick...or muddy....if that makes any sense. I'm thinking my budget for either case would be something around 2k.

So I've decided to replace my rotel amps. Any suggestions? I was considering 2 anthem mca30's. Any opinions on other amps or even if the anthem would be considered a worthwhile upgrade from the rotels?
