Subwoofer or new speakers? - need advice

I currently drive Spica TC60's with a Classe CAP-100 Integrated (overkill or what?!). My room is 20' x 14' with cathedral ceiling. The speakers are on the long wall about 9' from the sweet spot. I used to listen almost exclusively to small group acoustic jazz and chamber music on CD and vinyl. Now that I've started playing rock, electric blues, and reggae I can't crank more than half way. What should I do? I know next to nothing about subs. What are the pros and cons? What are the logistics? I don't even know how they work. Some direction would be appreciated. I hate getting rid of the Spicas; I've grown to really love them (too sentimental?). Thanks so much for your feedback.

angelus' wood be a nice upgrade, if ya like the tc60's. re subs, see "the best subwoofer" thread here for opinions about subs (mine included!). jeff is correct about how many powered subs are set-up - one reason why i prefer the wirtues of passive subs, an outboard active x-over & a separate subwoofer amp: simpler, cleaner, better electronics.
