I run ATC scm 19’s with a P1 pro in a nearfield setup. Any thoughts on which of these two upgrades. A: upgrade the amp to the P2 B: add a C1 subwoofer.?
the sub whould be nearfield as well, just in front of left speaker and about 4-5 ft from listening position.

P2's do drive SCM 19s much better than a P1, I've done that demo many times as the ATC importer to the USA.  But a P2 vs P1 is not as dramatic a difference for the money vs a sub.  I'd recommend multiple subs at lower level, as opposed to one, if possible.  One causes the most room related [modal] issues. 2 is better, both near the 2 speakers but maybe not in the corners.  Huge bass boost from corners.  Try one away from one corner and the other a different distance from the other corner.   The smaller the room, the more dicey a single sub becomes in sounding good.  One idea is run the mains full range, run the sub low pass around 85-95Hz with a gentle 12dB /octave crossover slope.
