The question I have then, how much better sound from a pre/amp system then the Denon can I get? Companies I would be looking at are NAD, Outlaw, Harmon Kardon, any others? I don't mind spending a bit more on components because I'm saving money on the speakers.

So, mono block amps, 7.1 amps, or a combination??

Anybody got ideas??
