I have managed to stop spending money on equipment (for the moment) and am enjoying my current setup quite a lot. However, I keep wondering whether the amount of power delivery of my amp is holding back the potential of my speakers. My amp is a Marantz pm8005 integrated delivering 70WPC @8ohm /100wpc@4ohms. The speakers are Focal 836V with an sensitivity of 92db @8ohm which drops down to 3ohm at 110hz ( and I believe stays below 4 ohm though around 500hz based on measurements of its sucessor, the Focal Aria 936).

My listening room is not very large ( but oddly shaped L configuration). Seating position is nearfield - about 8' from speakers. I am not trying to attain more volume - just wondering if I would obtain more resolution and detail at lower volume as these speakers seem to really open up at higher listening levels, but some resolution is lost with the volume low. Perhaps this is just the nature of any loudspeaker, but if an amp change is a way to improve this, I could use some guidance. Thanks
