Room treatments, especially bass traps will give you what you desire.

I would suggest a quality subwoofer. Your speakers only go down to 55 hz. With a powered sub you can taylor the bass the way you like it. For 1k I would look at the SVS or HSU offerings. No cable change will give you what your after. Cables only make subtle differences.

why does everyone think cables make such a big difference?

First, you do need a subwoofer that crosses over at 80hz or below and goes down to at least 25hz. Then you need to equalize your bass because unless your room is acoustically perfect, you will have frequencies that are much too loud and others that get lost completely. These changes will make a BIG difference. You can eq your subwoofer with some free software (REW), a $40 Radio Shack sound level meter..and then an EQ that you can buy for $60 or so on EBAY. This will make a FAR bigger and actually audible difference in your system.

Forget about expensive interconnects, speaker cables, special power cables or "clean power" filters....get the basics right first.

There are many tweaks...most that you, frankly, won't even hear but you'll feel good because you spent the money...but they are way down the road.
