It might be that the higher impedance of the speaker is limiting the power of the amps. Solid state amps can double power as the impedance is cut in half which is another way of saying that if you double the impedance the power is cut in half. That is why tube amps are usually preferred on Sound Labs- they don't loose so much power into the higher impedances (so you have power to play the bass).
It might be that you are simply clipping the amps?
