Hello Jazz,
Beautiful speakers. You have the thoughtfully matched stands. I would not change a thing other than review placement and any 'treatment' you have in your listening area. Maybe taming frequencies of 'higher' vocals and up might have the same effect from other end of the frequency spectrum. Adding power is easy, but all that energy goes somewhere and not always in a productive way.
Speaker designers of "quality" brands take great pains in running standardized test batteries, anechoic chamber testing and rounds and rounds of reviewers (I could imagine) to sound natural and pensive on their own merits. Adding a sub to B&W 805 speakers is another discussion I have seen often. Bookshelf-size speakers are not intended to supplant full-range speakers, and additionally lack a mid-range separate. Based upon the listening area, a smaller footprint has a great purpose in being a better match versus over-sized speakers that would generate too much unfocused sound pressure to be pleasing.
