jumping back in, where should i start?

Hi, I have owned cary, belles, joule, and audio physic tempo's. all has been sold and am back to my first system that gave me a taste of what hi fi can be. I am wanting to upgrade but just not sure where to start, or how much of a difference will i see by bi amping my speakers? Currently I have b&w 630 speakers with a rotel rb980 power amp with a 940 tuner/preamp with a 991 cd player, i am wanting a warmer sound with fuller sounding bass. mostly listen to blues, rock,thank you for any info.Scott

my thinking and i may be wrong but, i was thinking the woofer should move more even at low volume, if it has the correct amount of power?

When you set the volume control to the desired listening level, you are causing the amplifier to deliver whatever amount of power is required by the particular speaker to create that listening level. Assuming, of course, that the required amount of power does not exceed the amplifier's maximum power capability, which is not an issue here, and will certainly not be an issue if higher volumes can be played cleanly.

I second Bob's comments and questions.

ok, how about this will a more powerful amp make the speakers sound fuller or more controlled at the same volume as a less wattage amp?
