Or: Buy a new hammer and - for a while, anyway - everywhere you look, there's something that calls for a hammer.
The electricity today was shite (thanks, Smart Grid!), but I none the less enjoyed some of the music I played. While playing Brahms' PC2, the meter on the Marantz went 1/2 way repeatedly, on tutti and on the more-closely-mic'd piano at ffff. "Speaker" was my current "stack", about 94-95 dB "efficient", and it was loud-ish, but not especially loud. "1/2 way" on the meter equates to ~300W into 4 Ohms. The current stack is 2X 12" driver, 1X 15" driver, and a 4" tweeter, all direct radiators, plus 6 dB "networks".
An ML2 had no trouble getting the same stack just as loud.
Hmmm...
