don't blame the speakers. It is either what was feeding them or your taste is toward extremely bright speakers.As much as maximum output, in my 16 x 15 x 8 room open to hallway and dinning room they can play waaaay louder that I could ever want. Most of my listening was done using Rogue 90 in triode mode. For parties I would switch to 90 W and friends would usually ask me to turn it down.
Of course,if your preference is toward very loud listening, ET and planars in general are not speakers for you.
But ET should play to about the same level as IIIA-s. However, note that while IIIA-s need high current amp due to low impedance, LFT VIII-s sing with tubes due to relatively high / even impedance.
