Upgrade amp or add sub?
WIth your new room...expect even less bass...and changing amps will not extend bass frequency which is ROOM DEPENDENT...I would opt for at least trying a sub...however...no sub beats a cheap sub...start with REL...higher end Velodyne...higher end ... 
$250-$400 CD player recommendations?

Any WARM, MUSICAL speakers out there?
