Please help: Do I need a preamp?

Hi!
I need your advice about my system, I am suspicious about impedance mismatch. My system consist of: ML 39 CD player direct to BAT VK-75 amp and Audio Physic Virgo II, Stealth PGS XLR and AZ Hologram II cables.
The sound is not enough dynamic with lack of bass and a bit thin. The resolution and soudstage is fine.
Getting a BAT pre would solve the problem? Or is it better to change the CD player to the AA Capitole which has tube output?
I can not compare this two options so I need your opinions.

Regards
Norbert

I DON'T KNOW YOUR SPEAKERS BUT ALL LOOKS OK.
MY 2 CENTS
I WOULD WORK ON CABLES FIRST, MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE STEALTH WASN'T GREAT, IC'S -SO TRY SOME KUBALA EMOTION LINE/ VALHALLA/PURE NOTE VERSION 4. SPEAKER CABLES TRY KUBALA EMOTION / JENA VALKYRE/ TRANSPARENT REFERRENCE. SEE WHAT THAT DOES. YOUR ML 39 IS OK THE BAT IS OK, SPEAKERS ?

You could try a good pre-amp. A good pre-amp is always a good asset in any system.

I think that cables could be an issue here.

If possible try either IC's Kubala-Emotion/ Valhalla/ Pure Note version 4.

Also I would try the Kubala Emotion / Jena Valkyre/ or the Tranparent Reference speaker cables.
