Have you considered a tube change in the LS-7...
When tubes go, your system will exibit all the characteristics you describe. If you are interested in changing the player, try the Arcam CD23 or maybe even a Jolida... The Adcom transport is simple and could be a decent transport, but a new player may suit you better.
Tube wise, in my ls-7, I have found that some Rocket Logo tubes from Upscale Audio provided me with excellent, musical bass and extremely detailed and listenable highs.
If you were happy with your amp before, then there is no reason to change it... Try the tubes first.. a modest investment at around 160.00
The player will run around 700.00 or so
and any decent amp the same used...
Best of luck,
