Magnepans, and their bass response, are usually extremely sensitive to room positioning. A slight change could completely alter your experience if you get it just right, so you may want to keep working at that. (Check the Magnepan site... I think they have placement recommendations.)
I upgraded to a new power cord on my Spectron amp, which opened up the bass considerably. (It was a DCCA Extreme Reference.) World of difference, with much more slam and authority.
I used to share the same point of view - that the speakers needed more bass - and went so far as to hook up my 5.1 system's subwoofer. But with a few changes, I found that I no longer needed it at all.
