FWIW and YMMV; I had a Parasound A23 for a couple of weeks paired with my ATC SCM 11v2 monitors and was underwhelmed.

Evidently, your speakers are just 85 dB's sensitive. That's a tough job for any amp rated at about 100 watts RMS. Those babies may require much more juice. OTOH, I'm surprised because the A 23 has a 1,000 VA transformer! Plus, these people have been in the audio amplification market for decades.
My speakers are Tekton Lore 2.0, rated at 98 dB's @ 8 Ohms, but I suspect with the impedance curve these are more or less equivalent to 94-95 dBs. Still plenty more sensitive than the SCM 11 v2. The thing is, I listen nearfield in a small room, so I believe in my case it should be enough.
Anyway, how did you like the sound quality of the Halo A 23? Should I go back to the drawing board?
