The OP now has 17 suggestions on his short list.  And we do not even know what kind of amp he has or if it could properly drive any of what has been suggested.

Buying a speaker this way is akin to selecting a vacation destination while blindfolded and throwing darts at a map!

Paraneer, actually he mentions what kind of amp he has in the first post, and at least some of us are familiar with its capabilities.  

I'd suggest demoing the Totem's carefully, they have a unique house sound.

The Zu line IMHO has a very distinct house sound that is more system dependent (or perhaps room dependent?) than most others. I've heard them sound great & terrible and everything in between.
The Zu guys seem so cool and there funky colorful designs are unique in many ways, but I'd tread carefully before buying. A demo with your own gear is even more recommended than it usually is. Cheers,
