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.

A pair of Vandersteen Quattro are magic with Quicksilver amps, the original cloth versions are dropping into $3k range. I have heard 60 watt QS driving 5a, sublime... 

How much power are you making at 12 o’clock ? Have you spoke w Quicksilver? Borrow a preamp and see.... also don’t trade down both your speakers and amps are super musical
