change amps or speakers


I am powering Eminent technology LFT8bs with quicksilver M60 monoblocks.  No preamp - I am running a dac directly to the amps, which works because with this configuration I am using very little attenuation.  Problem is it is obvious that the ETs require more current and/or wattage- the detail is there but not the punch and there are times when I am maxed out on volume at 12 0'clock and need more. Question is do I change the amps or speakers - I love the quicksilvers and put some serious $ into modifications.  A well respected friend/tech highly suggested I seek out a used pair of PSB stratus golds. I have a medium sized family room and like detail neutrality but need more rhythm and dynamics. Thanks you.

The specs advise the Eminents need at least 75 wpc; and remember they are 83dbl.

I am running a CJ LP66S at 60 wpc on an 8 ohm speaker at 88dbl that can dip to 6 ohms. In my case, I am starting to wonder if I need more power to avoid the treble sounding compressed.
