Speakers to match a CARY SLI-80

I THOUGHT I had the system built, but i feel my bass response is lacking. I am cerrently running

CARY SLI-80
Triangle Naia

Listening to jazz and rock has been very nice. The imaging is amazing and the mid-> high is great. The bass, however is lacking. Tight and quick, but there is not very much kick. When the bass walks in the lower register...there is no "ooomph" in it. As for modern tunes. Stuff like Stevie wonder,Jamiroquai, and other BASS heavy tunes don't have the "slam" i am looking for.

So ... here i am posed with my problem

#1 Keep the naia's and wait a year to buy a REL to pair with em.

or

#2 Take em back... and find a speaker set that will meet ALL my goals.

Any suggestions on option #2?

they can be full ranges or restricted + a sub

Must be under $2800

Thanks in advance

IC's and spkr. cable will only give a minimum improvement at best. Save for a sub or a pair of them. Remember you can put the sub wherever it sounds best to you. Very easy to do. When/if you get a sub, position it at your listening position and walk around the room till you find the spot it suits you. Then kneel down, the sound will change from standing to kneeling. EASY.

After all that, if there is a minor adjustment, one wat or another,is the time for checking out cable.
