fuller sound at lower volumes


I am looking for a fuller, richer, and deeper sound at lower volumes. My current system is a Musical Fidelity a3.2 integrated, a3.2cd player, and Paradigm Studio 40 v.3 on stands. My room is about 18x12x8. I am thinking about a McIntosh MA6500 integrated. Or would adding a good subwoofer be of benefit?

Only one of the above (cinematic): an equaliser or loudness control on amp. At low volumes the ear is less sensitive to low frequencies and the upper two octaves.

Alternatively, look into spkr placement and try to couple the midbass response of the two spkrs (if you haven't already). Finally if you want to invest in more low frequency energy you may follow Newbee's advice for a sub. Subs have controls on them. Cheers
