ACTGuy,

I have a 3803 powering my 7.1 Axiom based system. A few months ago I got a case of upgraditis and added a H/K high current stereo power amp with 200WPC (Model is Signature 1.5 if you are interested). It made an enormous difference to the punch and presence of my front M60's. You are going down a good path - go for it.
