Hi Tomstruck,
I would agree with those who are advising you to invest in cabling.Your $7k investmentment will go alot further by purchasing a top rated power cable. It will provide you with the some of the bass and clarity that you are looking for.
Also consider switching out your speaker and interconnect cables. Another consideration is to roll out your driver tubes (12AU&X7) for some NOS. Rogue is really friendly to Tweaks and responds well to power.
Making these changes will maximize the performance of your existing system. Check these sites out for ideas. An investment into any one of these kinds of cables would shurley be your last.
Finally, after these upgrades if you still require more bass, you could add a subwoofer, as the cronus allows for it. I would not go beyond a 12 inch driver. I think REL. Older B1 would work really well with the Vandersteens.
In my humble opinion - Best bang for buck scenario, Good Luck
Thales - use for speaker cables and interconnects
