Burn Twetter Speaker
Every response so far is pretty much spot on. You absolutely need a more powerful amp, and I wouldn't be surprised if you ALSO need speakers that can handle playing as loud at you probably play.  How big is the room you are playing in?   
What would I gain/lose?
Why not get a pair of Opticon 6 mk2?  They're the best speakers dollar for dollar that we have ever heard, and will have a similar sound (but better) than the dual Vokal setup you have going.  Given how you are using the system, I would also stro... 
Upgrade speakers or DAC
Unless your DAC is from 1997, a new DAC will make approximately ~1% of the difference new speakers (or treating your room) will make.   
Where to find OEM Dali Epicon woofer?
Hey John, check your private messages.  Just sent you some info that will hopefully help!  
What’s your opinion about Dali speakers?
The new Dali Rubikore speakers are actually better than the 10 year old outgoing Epicon (less than half the price in most instances).  Aside from the cabinet design of course.  Although the new Rubikore finishes are gorgeous, it is still a "box." ... 
What’s your opinion about Dali speakers?
It's critical to be aware of the fact that anyone with an impression of older Dali speakers does not apply to anything new.  As with any brand.   
What’s your opinion about Dali speakers?
As others have stated, not nearly enough information to respond effectively. Do you have a Dali dealer near you?  Have you heard Dali speakers before -- especially in a surround configuration similar to what you're wanting? As far as their sub w...

What issues are you dealing with?  
Has anyone actually heard the Dali Epikore 11? Impressions welcome.
We have them, and they're quite incredible.  If you are in the Chicagoland area, you can of course visit -- but anywhere else, I believe they are just shipping pairs out as we speak.  I don't want to wax poetic about them and sound like a brand s... 
Fyne Audio F502 or Sonus Faber Sonetto V
If your dealer has a pair of the Opticon 8 mk2 you should test those out at home, and also the Sonetto V.  The Sonetto may have more "detail" but it's really just peaky and fatiguing top end (Olympica Nova line doesn't have this problem).  The Opt... 
Has anyone compared the Heresy to new KLH model 5?
At one point before the Model 5 released, the designer and the KLH rep (at the time) brought them to our store.   Assuming the production models are the same (they look identical), they were excellent speakers.  Not a fan of the look personally, b... 
Floor standing speaker suggestions for McIntosh MXA70 (MHA150)
You seem to love the Dali -- why not step up to the Opticon 6 mk2?  Probably our best selling speaker in the whole store and dollar for dollar our absolute favorite.  If you have a Dali dealer near you, give them a listen.  :)  
Focal Kanta 2 or KEF Reference Meta 1 plus KC62 sub?
Having the t7/x in front of a Kanta no1 on (hopefully) Kanta stands would be zero issue at all.  :)  
Focal Kanta 2 or KEF Reference Meta 1 plus KC62 sub?
Kanta no1 with a REL T/x series or two would be incredible if set up right. Highly recommend the REL over the KC62 unless space is an extreme concern.   We have set up a few of these exact systems and they sound incredible.  
Focal Diablo EVO vs Prior Gen(s)
@mtbiker29 Yes indeed. Although in my original reply, I did mention Sopra 2, when I meant Sopra 1.   The Sopra 1 definitely has more bass than the Diablos, but the Diablos do 90% of things better within their range. If comparing Diablo to Sopra ...
