What crossover frequency are you using, ie where do you cut off "small" speakers ? My first thought is that any overdriving you're getting is because of the very lowest notes, and you could probably push the crossover frequency down as low as 40 Hz without having a problem with the current speaker.

I'm also thinking "moar power" before "moar speaker" and also have to agree with the question/comment about room size. Having that system cranked up in a 10x12 room seems fine, but I would probably need to be listening in a *different* room for full enjoyment.

EDIT -- I guess that's not quite right, there are a few songs & movies where I would want to be in the same room after all...
