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.

I have a pair of Centaur Minors, what is it about the bass that you don't like? Not deep enough or not tight enough? Have you played around with the switch settings and room placement to any degree?

I have a sub that I sometimes run with mine, it does give them the heft that my much larger speakers have. The ideal setup would be two smaller subs IMO. As you know, the 6.5 inch bass driver can never output true deep bass and no amp in the world can change this..another amp may offer better bass control which could seem to add some bass. The Minors only need about 50 watts but do sound much better with more.
