Help me Tweek my System, for less

I'd appreciate your help, in getting the most out of my system, I've got about 3k too spend on it, what can I do for little money to get the most. I will give you a run down of my system, and if you could help I'd appreciate it. Starting from the wall: Mit Z center, Sim Moon W-5 amp W/ Synergystic power chord, Balanced out w/ Nordost Quatro Fil's to Wadia 6i which is used as volume source I'm by-passing a pre-amp. and Nordost SPM speaker cables to B&W N 802's. All of the components are in a rack, between the speakers. My room measurements are 12.5 feet by 22 long with 8ft ceilings. Heavy throw rugs on the floor, with heavy Curtains on all windows and a couch with nothing in front of the Sound Stage. Like I said I've got about 3k to spend on tweeks and or upgrades, please help. My system sounds good, but every time I come home from my local High End audio store I'm disapointed in the sound quality.

I appreciate all of your responses. I'm in the process of selling my 1m interconnects to replace them with longer ones to seperate the rack from the amp, and create a better soundstage. I've also ordered Bass traps for behind the speakers. Another question, If I use the MIT for just the components, what do you recomend for the Sim W-5 to plug into?? PS Audio??

Thanks Again>>

59burst, I've never had success plugging a power amp into a conditioner - it just seems to make it less dynamic and open, I've always gone directly into the wall. The other biggest tweak period is finding the perfect spot for you speakers, this can have a dramatic effect and takes a very long time for me at least. Toe-in, distance from walls, distance between speakers, distance from listening area, spike, no spikes all must be experimented with. And this is free!
