Help me Tweek my System, for less

I'd appreciate your help, in getting the most out of my system, I've got about 3k too spend on it, what can I do for little money to get the most. I will give you a run down of my system, and if you could help I'd appreciate it. Starting from the wall: Mit Z center, Sim Moon W-5 amp W/ Synergystic power chord, Balanced out w/ Nordost Quatro Fil's to Wadia 6i which is used as volume source I'm by-passing a pre-amp. and Nordost SPM speaker cables to B&W N 802's. All of the components are in a rack, between the speakers. My room measurements are 12.5 feet by 22 long with 8ft ceilings. Heavy throw rugs on the floor, with heavy Curtains on all windows and a couch with nothing in front of the Sound Stage. Like I said I've got about 3k to spend on tweeks and or upgrades, please help. My system sounds good, but every time I come home from my local High End audio store I'm disapointed in the sound quality.

you've double-posted. i left the following on your identical thread:

1st thing i'd do is get the rack from between the speakers and put it on a side
wall beyond the first reflection point. leave the amp on a stand, using existing
cables and buy longer ic's to connect your cdp to the amp. apply sound
treatment between the speakers, if not already there, and get some corner
traps, too. i made this sort of move several months ago. it's proven to be the
greatest single upgrade i've made, short of changing major components. much
better soundstage in both width and depth and more stable imaging. in short,
your system should sound better than ever at a cost way under your proposed
budget. -kelly.
