Hi folks.
I think I have the potential for an awesome surround sound home theatre system, but something is lacking.
When I wander into a local Best Buy, etc., I can't seem to shake the feeling that their sound systems always sound better than my HT.
I don't seem to get a sweet a separation of sound as I would expect in my home theatre.
For example, with Gladiator, when the arrows start flying in the battle scene. I've heard better left to right whizzing past my ear in other systems that's I've seen in showrooms, etc. I want to mirror that theatre like set up as best possible.
The center of my system is a Harman Karman AVR 430, which I thought would just catapult my home setup to a theatre like experience.
So now I'm wondering what I might be doing wrong.
Is it the quality of my speakers (BOSE sattelites), or maybe I need to add a component like an Acurus A100X3 Amp, or replace my AVR 430???
Here's my HT 5 speaker setup. See pictures:

All up for ideas.
Many thanks for the tips,

OK, I replace the junk AMP with a Boston Acoustics HPS 10SE Horizon Subwoofer
Getting there...
