Technical assistance and recommendations needed

I have a decent system I believe; it is hard to tell since there are no audio clubs in the area and only one audio shop outside of a Best Buy store to hear equipment to compare. So I would recommend a forum for T/A  for folks not having an audio knowledge base.

My system is CD based and is comprised of a Marantz cd6006, Technics SUG700, Canton 9k reference speakers, SVS SB1000pro subwoofer, and a Shiits EQ. Interconnects are SVS interconnects for the SVS sub. Coax is Metabridge Ultra Series, interconnects are very old Monster cable interlink 500 and Monster m1000 mk.3., My speaker cables are from Maker Audio What I enjoy about the system is its inner detail, soundstage, and imaging. The room is a compromise but well damped 12x18 vaulted ceiling wall to wall carpets two overstuffed chairs and couch one open side wall.

The system is a bit analytic, and I would like to warm it up just a bit. So how do I add a bit more flesh/ body to the sound is it through the interconnects?  I am looking for solutions under $1000. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Scott

 a bit more body to the sound

So with the WAF we will forget about adding diffusors on the side walls or the ceiling. I found the Add-Powr products unlike other power or cable related upgrades in that they add more harmonics and decrease the noise floor. Noise you didn't even know existed but recognize once its gone. You can check it out here:

If you add bass traps in the corners and absorption panels on both the front and back walls it will tame the highs. Carpets and furniture are fine but placement is key. Everything you want to achieve can be done with room treatments, equipment changes are a crap shoot (and you can sure lose money the same way).
