Thanks all for your inputs, it has mad a world of difference in my sound quality.
Here is how I have configured:
Pioneer VSX-1120 receiver
Polk RTiA9 (L ,R) through Amp- B&K 4420
Polk CSiA6 (C) through Parasound 1200
Polk Monitor 40 (Rear L/R)
Polk Monitor 40 Rear Surround (L/R) through Adcom GFA 545
HSU STF-2 Powered Subwoofer
Initially, I thought of only keeping only one of these Amps, but after trying few combinations, it really appeared to be much better with this combination.
I tried both Parasound and B&K for RTiA9 and for some reasons found B&K better.
Any comments on my combination, any change needed? Also, how could I use Monitor70 in this combination, would rear benefit if Monitor 70 is put instead? -
Sounds like a pretty nice setup. I mentioned earlier that tower speakers work good for me as side surrounds. Probably won't make much difference on HT, but if you listen to multi-channel music it may be better, may not. Can only try and find out.Lexicon RT-10, Parasound P5, McCormack DNA 0.5, Polk SDA CRS+, SVS Sub

Thanks JPete, let me try that this weekend. It does not hurt to experiment on that.

I put my Monitor70 through Adcom GFA 545 as my rear speakers. It has made a HUGE difference in sound quality. Thanks for suggesting this, now I am going to keep these speakers. Only issue is that it does not look great as floor standing - earlier I had wall mount bookshelf speakers.
