When I got my Absolare Signature integrated (unfortunately outside your budget), I realized I no longer needed a subwoofer, the extra bass output was shocking. It’s 150-200 wpc, so that’s not the whole story, but more power helps. So a really powerful amp can totally change the bass game all by itself.
Isolation devices between speakers/stands and floor is a must for tighter better bass response in many cases, including my own.
