Not sure what to do with my HTS...

Hi, I'm wondering if you guys can help me. I'm running with:
• Yamaha RX-A1060BL 7.2 Channel Network AV Receiver
• Parasound - 2250 250-Watt THX Ultra2 Two-Channel Amplifier
• 2 Polk Audio RTI A9 Floorstanding Speaker (Cherry)
• 2 Polk Audio - RTiA 6.5" Bookshelf Speakers (Cherry)
• 1 Polk Audio - Dual 6.5" Center-Channel Speaker (Cherry)
• 1 SVS PB2000 12" 500-watt Powered Subwoofer
• Connected with Mediabridge 14 AWG-99% Oxgen Free Copper
I'm not sure if I should disconnect one of my RTI-A9s from my Parasound Amp and purchase another Parasound Amp for that disconnected speaker---so each RTI-A9 will have a dedicated amp. Do you think that will maximize the capability of my A9's?
Also do you think I should buy another SVS PB2000 to balance out the bass or get another pair of surround sound speakers: Polk Audio FXI A6---to get complete 7.1 HTS?
Any help would be appreciated...

Take the money you'd spend on another amp and sub, then put it towards high quality cables for at least the front three. Dont forget to replace the stock jumpers with the same high quality cable.Political Correctness'.........defined

You mean something from here: http://www.douglasconnection.com/Custom-Made-Furez-9-AWG-OFHC-Speaker-Cables-DCF92.htm
What are jumpers? -
Doug's cables are good for the price. These are the jumpers referred to. Right now your speakers have a brass plate from top to bottom connector, this would replace those.

This ^^^
From your list, your cables are the weak link, probably the interconnects too. If you have the room, going 7.1 is fine. I would NOT buy another amp for each speaker.
Maybe it's better to start with.....what is it your not liking about your system ?HT SYSTEM-

Moving to a new house. The tv room is large enough for a 7.1 HTS.
What cables and jumpers do you recommend? -
I agree on getting second sub. I did the same thing recently, went from 5.1 to 7.2 and certainly is better overall system.

I recently went from 5.1 to 5.2 and am very glad I did.2 Channel "Polk" Room:
