Need suggestions on efficient book shelf speakers for a Pass Labs XA3.5

*sorry amp is XA30.5 -will not let me edit headline.
My current speakers are KEF 201/2 which have a low sensitivity of 85. Amp is only 30 watts class A. Sounds good but the volume is limited. Hoping more efficient speakers will provide greater volume? Looking for suggestions in the $2k -4k used or $3k- 8k new.

I would look into Tannoy Autograph Mini's...I am exceptionally impressed with mine, driven by a Manley Stingray...in a 17x25 ft room with cathedral ceilings

I recently bought a pair of Goldenear Technology BRX monitors. They are 91 db efficiency & $1598 per pair. They are excellent with a great soundstage & especially good on vocals. I love them.

Hello,

With 30 watt class A you do not need sensitive speakers. That’s like 60w class A/B or 120 watts class D.

Really depends on what sound characteristics and improvements (besides sensitivity) you’re looking for.  That info would help a lot in making better recommendations.
