Thanks for all the input. Really appreciate it. Here are some answers to some of the questions posted as follow ups.

- The Adcom preamp is used in conjunction with a Marantz AV9000 HT processor through the adcom's external processor bypass loop. This is how I switch to HT. When listening to 2 channel, Dont need to even turn on the Marantz processor.

- The Adcom is used in passive mode. Have tried both and do prefer the passive.

- The Marantz monoblocks do not have balanced connections.

- Associated cabling is as follows,
Silver Audio Jetstream IC'c
Monster 2.4s bi-wire speaker cable.
Silver Audio Powerburst power cable

- As for what it is exactly I am trying to improve... That's a bit more difficult to answer. After reading that question from some of you and thinking about it for a while, I came to the realization that my main driving force here is to spend money! :) I've got some cash to burn and I guess I got a case of upgradeitis. I guess that's the blunt truth of it. I am pretty happy with my system but know that there is better out there after hearing something like the Joseph Audio room at the HE 2002 expo! Obviously, that kind of sound involves much more money than is in my budget. I guess I wanted to know what is the biggest step I can take in that direction with a $3000 budget. I think detail is what I'm after. I know that's a bit general, sorry I can't be more specific. Thanks again for your input.
