If it is solid state amp leave it on for a week or two, listen to it or not, at the end of the 2 weeks, if you don't like it sell it and get something else. Don't try to make gear sound how you like it, buy gear and keep gear YOU think sounds good.

One basic item that would have an impact and provide the sound you describe. Make sure that you observe correct polarity on both speakers, + to + and - to - It is an easy mistake to make sometimes. Double check.
