The best amp or improvement for Dahlquist DQ-10's


I have been looking at and listening to many speakers but every time I come home to my DQ-10's I still enjoy them most. Their flaw, and the reason I'm looking, is the bass driver and/or the bass enclosure. The sound is not "tight" or "punchy" enough. I've read that this can be alleviated with certain amps. (Although I am skeptical). I've even contemplated changing the bass driver and bass enclosure.

MY QUESTIONS: Is there a speaker out that has the same mid's and high's but with "tight" bass? Is there an amp that really could tighten this "loose" bass? (No suggestions over 2k used market).

SETUP: I have a Rega Planet cd player and Rega 25 turntable feeding an Audible Illlusions 3A pre-amp with Amperex gold pin 6922's going into a Rotel 980BX 100 watt per channel amp.

ALL HELP APPRECIATED - THANKS

I use a Mission 772 power amp to drive my DQ10's. This amp is old and uncommon here in England. It's quoted at 150W continuous per channel.It also drives a pair of Radford 360 degree things about which I know nothing. Marvellous. The next plan is to use an LP1 and drive a 1W or two 1W's with a Naim NAP90. Don't know whether this will work or how towire it all up. Any comments/advice?
