+1 Origin Live table. Simply based on how good my OL arm is. And +1 tooblue, when it comes to styles of music your best bet for that is the cartridge.
But also you mentioned speakers and subs. By far your biggest improvement there will be to add three more subs. They can be bigger or smaller, self-powered or separate-amped, all the same or all different. Relatively speaking, such details hardly matter. What does make the difference is how many. More subs distributed around the room creates more smaller bass modes and results in much smoother, faster, more articulate bass that goes way deeper and more powerful than you can get from any one single sub. Or even two.
The only downside, if you can call it that, is that you will find a lot of your recordings don't have nearly as powerful/deep bass as you thought. What you were hearing was the lumpy bass emphasis from the single sub. With four it will be flatter, genuinely deeper, and a whole lot faster and more articulate. I know the crappy aGone search can be frustrating but look for Swarm or distributed bass array, read the comments, and see what I mean.
