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??

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.

The Emotiva T1s (and presumably T2s) have good reviews and the reviews seem to describe these speakers are real balls/rockers but with the nice AMT tweeter and don't cost a fortune.

Totems when mounted on the "claws" have little balls instead of spikes, in addition to great sonics with well developed bass. Just right.
There are Totems Staff here for sale on AGon.  If I did not have the hawks already, I would get a pair.

Forte’ rocks out for sure.  Klipsch Heresy III rocks too in a smaller package.  Sub is necessary for H3 as it lacks deep bass. Rocks none the less
More to discover
