A higher watt power amp or a power conditioner.
An EQ could help too.

If your amp has any extra 1/4 inch jacks that you don't ever use (fx send/return etc.) plug a cable (instr. or spkr doesn't matter) into it and into an unused 1/4 in jack on the PA. This grounds the two even if you're plugged into completely different circuits. I hate the smell of ozone coming off my moustache.I'll never forget the day when I was playing barefoot on a cement basement floor. I was using a non-polarized amp, and one of my guitar strings touched a water pipe . . .
LOL...I was grinning by the time I hit the barefoot on a cement floor part. Years ago I got so sick of being shocked half the time when my lips touched a mic I started using a foam windscreen on it. We'd spend 20 minutes trying to flip ground reverse switches and flip plugs over and still have problems, (very few 3 pin ground plugs on older amps) and I finally got fed up and got a windscreen...and avoided playing outside in really cloudy weather...
Now everything I have is grounded, first thing I do is replace plugs with broken ground pins, but I still use my old faithful windscreen, I don't want to know if it's going to shock me, when that bunch of electrons hits your lips it HURTS...and I don't get moustache hairs pulled out any more either
But to get back on topic it sounds like some 4 ohm speakers might make a big difference, you'd be surprised how much better efficiency makes too.
