More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music


Hi,   just want to know if anyone can offer their opinions on how to boost the bass when listening to 2 channel music.

I just got a pair of B&W 804 D3 and would like to get more bass out of the speakers.   I remember the bass was pretty punchy when I heard it in the dealer showroom, but I don't seem to get that in my setup.   I currently have Parasound A31 power amp with 250 watts per channel.

So the question is whether I should get a more power amp, or add subwoofer to my 2 channel music.  I'm a little bit of a purist and would prefer not to use a subwoofer for music, but I'm open to this option.

I would definitely appreciate if anyone can share their experience/opinion.   Thanks very much.

 Get a average sub and enjoy.
no need to spend a lot.

 Newegg has An Energy sub for 112$ this weekend.
great sub, better price!
save $
look at the BIC America subs.
inexpensive and a 7 yr warranty on driver.

 Are the the top tier in subs,...?no!
 They will play loud and add some serious bass. Powered subs, 
wont use your amps power.
