Ears hurt when listening after changing speakers

For years I had multiple models of Maggies and Martin Logan speakers. I could play them very loud with no problems with my ears. A few months ago I purchased the Rockport Aviors and now when I listen at moderate to high levels my ears start to hurt.  Anyone one else experience this when changing speakers and would like thoughts on how to resolve other than turning the volume down.  I do love the Rockport.

Thanks to all. I was using Paavo XA 160 amp with Audio Research LS27 preamp. Switched amps to VTL S-200

Thanks to all for your suggestions and thoughts.  For nkonor I am so sorry to hear of your situation. Some of you had questions for me so will try to answer.  

- I had a Pass Labs amp (was a typo in my earlier description)
- I do love the Aviors even with this issue. There are revealing, I can hear each instrument, female vocals are so inviting, and basically the music is more exciting 
- the VTL did help
