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 older one has a peak power spec of 100 watts. It also has a 1 ohm tap for a difficult load!!
Do you have the older 60 watt Quicksilvers? Or the new ones?

M60 Mono Amplifier

Before you make any changes you should try a KT88 type tube. The KT88 is a more powerful tube and will give you a bigger brighter sound than the EL34. BTW, I prefer the KT88 with my QS amps!
