I've moved my second pair of Polk RTi8's back into the rear position in my HT room so I now have two pairs of them in the current setup.
If I didn't want to change any further components in this set up, what else is there that I can do to further enhance performance?

The front RTi8's are biwired btw.

I can think of the following

1. Cabling
2. Add another 12" sub
3. Mono blocks? My understanding here is that I would/could be able to drive either the fronts or the rears via the monoblocks. Correct?
4. Room treatment? I already have heavy drapes, a nice thick rug, a long 4 seater plus a 2 seater and a heavy cabinet in the rear of the room. Is there anything else I could do?
5. I also use this room for music listening so would a dac be something to consider? I currently listen to music via the Onkyo dvd player
5. Lighting. I have two sets of downlights. One set can dim whilst the other cannot so I guess adding a dimmer switch into the other set?
6. Popcorn machine and coke dispenser perhaps ;D

Cheers
Daniel
