Upgrade amp or add sub?


I have Apogee Centaur minors driven by a Sim Audio i-5080. I'm looking for a little more foundation to my system. The Apogee's have anemic bass, but I'm moving into a ground floor condo and am worried about too much bass. Could I move into a larger amp (a Classe integrated? I like integrated)and get slightly more bass my new room will be a 13 x 23 open space with 8 ft ceilings my old room is only 11 x 12. Any suggestions appreciated.

Upgrade to a pair of subs. Speakers need to be placed out away from walls for best imaging. Adding a pair of subs will do a 100% double take with your ears. Subs actually add foundation and detail to the high midrange and even beyond at times and can even inprove imaging if run in a stereo pair. No amplifier, no matter the cost will do this dramatic improvement for those speakers. A properly set up sub wont even bug neigbors, nor will they amplify nasty room resonances if care is taken on their placement and tuning.
