Processor and amp or AVR?

Currently using a Pioneer Elite SC 07 AVR feeding a Pioneer Elite Kuro plasma with Def Tec speakers in a 3 channel configuration - L,R,C.  Open floor plan not a good room hence only 3 channels.

Primary source streaming through Apple.   Set up is old technology but still delivers great entertainment.  I've tried to wait to upgrade my audio until my Plasma gives out but thankfully it still delivers an excellent picture.

If you were me would you consider a major audio upgrade to separates or the latest AVR? Or wait until a TV change?

In your experience is there even an audio upgrade when it comes to streaming TV (my 2 channel is analog only so no experience)

How many amplifiers besides the Mcintosh 303 has 3 channels?

Greatly appreciated for any input/feedback....

PS - Here's my blog post on using Anthem room correction well.

I'm loving my Anthem MRX 540 right now.  The Anthem Room Correction works really well, with caveats, really well and an ideal platform to use if you think you might add a subwoofer.

I'm using it through my Luxman integrated.  The MRX drives the center and surrounds, while sending a line level to the Luxman for L and R.  I can't tell you how great it is once set up.
