ADS L1290/2 Speakers

Hello everyone, I'm new to your forum and am trying to wend my way into the finer points of the audio world. Your patience will be appreciated...as well as your great breadth of knowledge.
I have a set of L1290/2 speakers that I currently run off an old Kenwood K-209 system. I want to get more out of these great speakers. Would you good folks offer me some advice?
I'm currently thinking of upgrading to a Rotel RCD-1072 and need advice on amping to get the most bang for the buck.

I am running mine with a pair of Grommes LJ6 mono blocks which put out 12-14 watts per side. I don't have any power problems at all since the ADS are so efficient. It fills the room and is plenty loud.

I also have a pair of L1590s running off a Harmon Kardon PM665 which is rated at 100 watts per channel. If I turned that up to 11 on the clock I would be rattling the foundation loose.

If you are spending extended time listening to speakers like this at max volume your ears will not last very long.
