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.

I have those same amps and they have much more power than you think. If you'd like to message me, I can tell you what I've used them to drive.  I've paired them with a couple of preamps and my main preamp is a Quickslilver linestage. But their wattage should not throw you; they are much more powerful than you might think.
I'm re-thinking my comment after looking at the specs on that speaker. How low do they dip, impedance-wise?
