I am not sure an equalizer is a good idea, but modern dsp room equalization should be part of any system with a subwoofer. The Naim amplifier is a hugely overpriced and underpowered piece of audiophilia, but it is what you have, and it might just have enough power to work in a small room like this. Does it have a line level subwoofer output?
The first thing I would recommend is to buy a mini DSP Umik-1 calibrated measurement microphone, and use it with the free REW measurment software. It will tell you what your speakers are doing in your room.
Next, what are your sources? If you are using a computer as a source you could use REW and the free Egualizer Apo or similar software to create a very precise tone comtrol and perhaps lift the bass a bit, plus create filters to equalize the response to deal with room modes (peaks and dips at low frequencies). The snag here is that the amplifier does not have much spare power to increase low frequency level. The advantage it that you can experiment without spending a fortune.
If you find that you need to lift bass response more than just a little bit, and extend it a lot, then the subwoofer route is probably the most cost effective way to do this. It will add real extension and power. Ideally one should use at least two (mono) subwoofers, for a smoother response across a wider listening area, and a high pas filter on the main speakers and power amplifier, but that is probably not possible with the Naim, unless it has separate pre/power amp connections. If the Naim does not have a subwoofer line level connection and you want some dsp room eq you will need to get the signal from the speakers connection, use an attenuating cable, and then insert a DSpeaker ANtimode 8033 room eq unit or a miniDSP 2x4HD dsp unit that can use REW or Multi Sub Optimizer filters.
In short, good bass does not come easy.
