speakers with balls

Hello friends
I live in a modern unit!! of medium size!!
 I/m running a pair of Zu soul's, on some recordings, sound great, other's could be better!!, I'm looking at the below, my amps are "audio labs" mono blocks!! approx 250 WPC
I'm looking for a speaker that "rocks"!!
I have a short list of speakers, that according from web sites, are a good match
1. Magnepan 1.7
2. Magnepan 1.7.i
3. Gallo Acoustics  3.5
These are some speakers, that am willing to consider
 anymore more speakers, that you can recon-end??

I think Zu and Magnepans are some of the least "rock" friendly speakers out there. I'd add lower end Martin Logans to that list. Any modern three way floor stander with a >10" woofer in a $2K (used) price range will sound better.

Totem Forest speakers have balls underneath.

Love my Vandies, love Maggies too, but neither of them would I consider having the balls to rock.
Agree on the above posts.
Just read JBL is re-introducing the L-100 with updated drivers and x-overs. $4k/pr. It will rock.
BTW, if "modern unit" means "apartment", I would listen to 'phones if I wanted to rock.

There is a great deal on a pair of JBL Studio 590 speakers listed here that should fit the bill nicely.

Magnepans and planars in general are the exact opposite.  Lovely to listen to but no "balls".  You cannot feel the music as well as hear it.

For something different with "balls", rather than planars, consider a pair of OHM Walsh speakers perhaps.

Klipsch Heresy or Forte another good suggestion.
