Then you should already be a happy man?? :)
Anyway, if you haven't done so - lift your speakers off the floor. Use something like the wooden Shunmook elephant legs. This should tighten things up - improve bass and midrange definitions, also better staging and speed in general.
During my 5yrs with the Royal Westminster (early 90s), I rolled quite a number of amps (VTL Ichiban, VTL90, Cary 211, Audion, Ongaku, Jadis JA200, FMA). I found then that they sounded best with 300B based amps. Given too much power, tube or SS, albeit controlled, their bass had a tendency to thicken/bloat thus overpowering the whole presentation when driven hard.
The SET Cary, Audion and Ongaku (note: all incorporate 300Bs somewhere in circuits) were beautiful combinations, but the push pull 90w triode VTL90 Monos (8 x WE 300Bs) imo was the best balanced overall (control and musicality in spades). So yes, ime definitely worthwhile to pursue the 300B route should you plan to keep the Canterbury.
Great speakers, but gotta work extra hard to get the best out of them. When set-up just right, positioning and all - you'll be pleasantly surprised, those huge boxes could actually disappear, and that they could image pretty darn well too! Goodluck.
