tips for Vandersteen 3A sig

I was wondering if anyone has advice on maximum the performance of this speaker. I use sound anchor stands with the tiptoes that came with it...another other choice ? black diamond ? or ? How about adding subwoofer ? Goal, I want a "cleaner" , "faster" sound. Any other suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks,

Thanks Garfish and Gasman. Actually, I had a chance to talk to Richard Vandersteen. He says having 3A sig + 2w's would be 70-80% performance of Vand 5. Reason: Vand 5 is much more "inert" Looking at the sub option...you also have to buy quality wires and cross over. This would cost over $3000.00. Now I am really confused, should I do the subs, or save a little longer to move to Vand 5's ? That is the question.

Thanks to everyone for the input so far. For room acoustics, I have just ordered some RPG foam to place behind my speakers. Will let you know how it worked out. Also, I just tipped my speakers a little more forward...it seemed to help some. I am now tilted back only .5". The Amp I am using is ARC Vt 130. I imaging this would be slower than a bryston...or even Mccormack ?
