Thanks for the input everyone. Yes, my receiver is the Pioneer VSX-919. This was my first sound non-HTIB system and I skimped on the dedicated amp due to cost. Now I have a much bigger room with 2800 cf and a bigger budget to upgrade I'll definitely be going with more power (not $10k, but something sufficient) and probably an additional sub (hopefully I can match my Epik to have dual matching Empires, though they no longer make them). I'll probably upgrade to a Pioneer Elite also.
