Steve,

25w/ch (or even 25 watts total) is plenty of power for 99% of conditions you will encounter using Dolby Pro Logic. Remember your problem is level, not the amount of power availible. Have you used the test-tone setup function and balanced the levels? If not, do so and balance your system. If you have done this already and it's correct, then you have some sort of problem with the signal. Dolby Pro Logic is much more "selective" in terms of what sounds eminate from the surround channel than the other effects (hall, studio etc.) and will generally produce poor results with any source besides video. Also remember that when you have your system set correctly you should not be blown away by the rear/surround channel - but rather it should compliment the front and center. My rule of thumb is that you should not know it is there until you turn it off. Naturally special effects on action videos is another matter but you get the idea.

As for the HK, you should be very pleased for years to come.
Enjoy,

Alan
