Speakers with bass response?

I have a decent speaker system, BW N804's but they seem a little bass shy at times, so I tried adding a sub, to see the difference. First; the BW asw500, real muddy at any volume, it's really designed for small HT, next was the BW asw1000, plenty of kick but no clarity or real "musicality", then I went up to their asw 2000, well, it occassionally added some musical low frequency, but muddy, and it seems to clip and pop at any volume. I wonder if I need different speakers to really get that bass I'm looking for, or will a good sub do it, or is it something else in my system?
Components: Classe CA300 amp, Classe cp50 pre-amp, pro-silway xlr interconnects, BW N.804's and the weak link: Technics CD.

Try taking a look at the thread below. Scott did a very nice job of compiling info for those that have never seen that specific magazine. It has a TON of info in it about subs.

As to the weak link in your system, i would definitely say it was your Technics player. However, i would think that it would be more limiting in terms of upper mid and high frequencies than i would the bass department. Sean
