    More speakers or Amp?

    Trying to decide where to put my budget. We are currently looking to get new Paradigm Studio 100's. We have the HK 2700 receiver. Would my best bet be to get the LR and a new amplifier, or get the LR & C and stick with the HK alone for amplification? We do movies/music about 50/50 Thanks! Chris
