What are you not happy with?

My first thought would be Netflix (Xbox or blu-ray player, if not get an ATV)  and get some better music 10% really?   But... amplification and upgrade the cable box to an antenna for better HD video.

Your weakest link is the Dayton sub

Agreed, that will make the most difference for action movies. Look inito something from Rythmik or Epik. Beyond that I'd look at some sort of multichannel discrete amp.

Room treatments are also always a good idea if your s.o. will allow them.

Thanks for the suggestions, I have been out of town.

I am just not happy with my music when I do get to listen. It is missing something. I have to compromise with ht setup for family.

I do have blu ray, forgot to list it. Panasonic 110. I ran audyssey and love my system for movies. Sub seems ok for theater, never use it for music. Use pure on the Onkyo.
