Home High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

RE: New Speakers or New Amplifier?

Lots of possibilities, and I'm sure you've thought of them already. You don't mention your price range.
1) you could add a powered sub, if feasible. That would certainly extend the FR of your speakers (much needed), and take much of the load off of your 45s. This will also help with dynamics.
2) Get more efficient speakers. You'd be hard pressed to find some that didn't go deeper in the bass.
3) get a more powerful SET, or a low powered PP amp. I've lived with SETs for over 10 years, including custom type 10 SETs. 1.5 glorious watts. Even with 100db speakers, they felt somewhat limited. That will help with dynamics, but won't solve your bass issue though.
Or, any combination of the above. If you want to listen to classical, you're going to need deeper bass, and more dynamics. It seems that your speakers are the most limiting factor. I would at least address that issue first, then *maybe* the amp.
That's my ramble for the day. :-)
Good luck.
