Speaker Volume

I have an NAD T777 V3 with Paradigm Persona B speakers.  Problem is not enough volume.  What's up with that?  Running two channel and volume at max +9db but it could be louder.  It's clean and loud, but I would like a bit louder.  Not like being at a concert where your ears rattle.  ]
Ideas?

Yes, 105 dB IS loud. IMO, @mrdecibel  has a solution. According to the specs he has researched, your speakers are not presenting the bass frequencies which would be responsible for "loudness." 

Add a subwoofer. There are dealers who have trial periods or return policies such as Music Direct.

A subwoofer crossed over at about 80Hz will provide the bass frequencies you are currently missing. Then your music will have more weight to it, sound fuller and louder.
A subwoofer will also relieve your Paradigms of providing all the sound, resulting in cleaner, more realistic sonics.
