Stax F-81: Make a great speaker better?

Just bought a pair (second time). They sound glorious with Manley 200's. First time around amplification was not up to par(Moscode600).Looking for intelligent opinions on ways to make this incredible speaker better. Power cords(so far MIT Z-cords have made a significant if not overwhelming improvement, speaker cable(Siltech, power conditioners(they do sound a bit more refined plugged into a Power Wedge). I am most curious about a mod that I read about and can't remember where: the removal of the RC network in the power supply. Thank you all ahead of time.

Kr4, thanks for the advice. Could you describe this filter? And what sub do you think can keep up with this speaker? I am looking at a Kinergetics SW200.

Kal, thanks again. You obviously have good ears and know what you are talking about. That is exactly what I hear. Could you describe this circuit from the standpoint of constructing it? Component values, schematic etc. I am handy with a soldering iron and maybe a bit too daring when it comes to playing with the guts of a component. I follow directions well if told what to connect to what. Any experiene with "augmenting" subs. No interface. REL? Thanks again for your time. Lino.
