Hummmmm...It's been awhile for me with the BP3000's. But I do think I remeber them as being a bit more laid back than the BP2000's if I'm not mistaken. I could be wrong, but I've heard both several times, in many locations. I always thought the 2000's were better balanced. toward "alive" than the 3000's, which just had more bass output potentially. You might want to try a small monitor with more life in the same room to compare to your speakers if that's the case. Might be worth a look.
The Bryston is probably like the older Parasound amps in that it's probably a bit rolled off on top, and maybe warmish sounding...not agressive or analytical. What your speakers MIGHT need is a more foreward sounding and analytical amp...? It might not, I'm just thinking.
Yes, you could try the ATI amps, Krells, Older Acrus(if enough power), and other amps that border towards neutral to analyitical sounding. The balance could be tricky however, so you might have to tinker.
I wouldn't put it past the situation, as Sean mentioned to consider checking room accoustics and set up as well! Those Bipolar speakers can sound a bit too lifeless if you ABSORB the back wave of the speaker! Those are designed to integrate the reflections off the front wall back to the listen mostly. I've tinkered with the Def Tech's with using absorbtion for the front wall reflection points, and the results weren't as good as "reflection" or "diffusion" up front! That might be something to consider. Generally, the Def's are going to do better with more diffusion and life infront of the room than not I think. Also, if your room is, of course, too dead on top, that could hurt things. Acoustics is a strong "look-at" scenario indeed for you(as all).
Try one component change at a time none-the-less, otherwise you'll be lost!
Stay with it, and you'll find it.
good luck
