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.

@audphile1 I actually have those benchmark-made cables where one end is rca and the other is balanced.  Do you think those would work at all?  Otherwise I might get some balanced cables and see.

fritz are excellent

also consider the best pair of proac standmounts you can afford... very synergistic with the warmish pass labs

Another thought on your speaker quest. I also own a low power Pass

INT 25 amp. I would suggest you adds subs. 

The Pass is great. Keep it. I use the REL T5X sub.

I listen at 65-70dB. You are much higher.

Brands I like: Totem, Sonus faber, Fritz, ATC
