Question Advice for better sound at lower volume

[brazim01]

Hi, relatively new here so apologies for any errors in posting.
I am trying to achieve better clarity of sound at lower volume.
My kit list looks like this:
Rega P3 Turntable
NAD M10 (being used exclusively as a streamer)
Rega Elex MK4 Amp
Spendor D7.2 Speakers

The speakers were a decent upgrade recently at a price I couldn’t turn down but I don’t think I’m getting the most out of them. The room is around 5m x 4m and the speakers are placed approx 1m from the long wall and about 3m apart (this room configuration is essential because of how the rest of the room is used). The room has a large rug covering most of the wooden floor. I play mostly vinyl and stream tidal.

I guess my question is where would I get the greatest impact from investing in component upgrades (Amp for example or maybe adding a sub)? I appreciate that there’s lots of information missing but I’m just interested in opinions and don’t want the post to be over long. I also acknowledge that room treatment and speaker placement may well be the real answer to my problem.

Any thoughts would be very much appreciated. I’m not an expert and certainly not sensitive about criticism of the set up.

Thanks.

The ear becomes less sensitive to bass & treble at lower volumes, thus you need to boost these frequency's to bring the balance back, unfortunately most audio amps these days don't have bass & treble controls as you are expected to listen to the system at realistic volumes (Which the vast majority of users cant), so apart from adding a graphic equaliser there is not much you can do (You will just need to get used to it), to make things even more complicated it isn't just a simple case of boosting bass & treble, as you can see from the description of the Fletcher Munson curves explanation here
