you are precisely correct. my next upgrade would be either a sub or a next air of monitors such as Adam, Krk or Yamaha.

Which of the two options would you recommend?

Believe it or not, these 5 inch can raise a lot of noise, interestingly enough, they sound a bit softer oppose to no treatment, so it would make sense to upgrade into something larger, but ive been told that a sub would take care of that low end that i am pretty much desperate for at the moment.

Personally, I don't believe in the use of subs for stereo mixing (there's no standard for sub crossovers, not is there a discrete channel in stereo for the sub) so my advice is to just get great stereo monitors.

As fro recommendations, I'm getting fairly self conscious about the whole thing so I'll just post a recent thread, but if you read that all the way through there's detailed discussion in there about what is a good purchase at the moment.

But please let me know if you need any more info or specific recommendations

just treated myself to a MOOG Slim Phatty, a SSL X-Patch and a fortune on Digidesign Digisnake Tascam cables. Also ordered a Editors Keys Cubase shortcut keyboard and an additional 19" birch rack to complement the desk.
This together with the delivery the other week with GIK panels now complements my studio (for now)

New pictures will follow soon, only thing remaining now is a nice sofa for attended sessions.

ThnX, The room is BIG, (nearly 8 meters wide) there are 12 bass traps (4 superchunks, 2 monster traps and 6 other traps) + 4 diffusor panels (which u can see as cloud and on the left side of the pic and 8 Auralex panels in there, lens just isn't wide enough to capture them all

Can tell you, clarity and detail are just staggering, if there are flaws, you'll hear them here. also volume and pressure and control is immense, 33% volume is already LOUD.

Not to mention that it's very hard to get the phase of the sub in perfect sync with the monitors which is essential if you want to hear your bass properly.
I recently switched from a 2.1 system to a stereo system and the difference is huge.

Agreed: a bad phased 2.1 system is worse than a 2.0.

It takes some practise, but there is nothing that REW, a tape measurer and a Behringer EMC8000 can't solve.
