Budget Strategies forTightening up Bass?

My system: Opera Consonance 120 Linear CDP, Extensively modded Jolida 302B, Silverline SR 17.5 monitors. AudioArt Speaker wire. Various IC's. Short of buying a sub, what is biggest bang-for-buck upgrade to tighten bass? Wire? PowerConditioning? ("currently" I have just an upgraded cryo-treated outlet) Better footers? (I have vibrapods and cones). I've got about $350 to spend on this... I know-- that's not much-- maybe my goal and my budget are mutually exclusive. Still, any suggestions would be appreciated!

I tried moving speakers 4" further away from back wall-- seemed to make a difference
.
If your initial distance from back wall was 10", you may now have almost same distance of the front baffle from rear and side walls.
This seems to infringe one of the fundamental speaker placement rules. It may work for you, but it's largely discouraged.
