a 3 way design speaker with the ESS Heil type sound

I have tried Klipsch RF-7 lll, ADS 780,880, 1290 ll, 1590 ll, ESS 3 ways with HEIL, and Daedalus Speakers. I still own all of these. Is there a speaker with the bass slam and dynamics of Klipsch RF-7 lll, and the midrange and tweeter sound of ESS HEIL, that is as beautiful, efficient, and easy to drive as Daedalus Speakers??

I have VPI prime. AT 760 SLC mm, and Sumiko Blackbird HOMC. Phono preamp is Ayre P-5xe. I run balanced out. I also have a Graham Slee Accession.

I use my Line Magnetic LM-515 CD player with balanced outputs. I like the sound. Great bass and extension. No fatigue with tube buffer output.
I have a Marantz SACD 30n for streaming, and SACD use. The Marantz is definitely a weak link.
I have Simaudio 740P balance into Simaudio 760A.
kinda dry sounding. Thinking this magic unicorn speaker (if existed) would solve my problem.
or do I need a good tube preamp??

looking for advice

Wow. I appreciate every single response. Thank you all! Some truly great ideas, and beautiful speakers. I love having my eyes opened. I knew of Qualio Audio. I have been interested in those. I knew of the Monitor Audio Platinum PL-300 series. Heard good things about them, but, was worried my little Simaudio 760a amp with 130 watts at 8 ohms would be enough. Those Cinnamon Audio looks like my unicorn!! My ohhh my. Beautiful! If they sound as good as they look I would be a happy camper! Now, for the sticker shock. I have not heard of that brand. 
does Qualio Audio have the bass slam and dynamics??

 Truly like bass. I must be a bass head ? But with details. I think I am sensitive to metal tweeters and definitely cheap horns. Also, if midrange beams.

Thanks again everyone. 
I think tomic601 and decooney are on to it. Extended, detailed bass, but with mid bass slam. Beautiful dipole fast and accurate highs. 3 way with HEIL. I never thought of a high current amp. I was thinking tube preamp to tame upper midrange beam. 
I learn something from this site often. Been lurking and learning. Only commented a couple times. 
Still interested in those beautiful Cinnamon Audio speakers. I don’t think they are available to my budget. But, I can hope. 
Is the Qualio midrange ran up high, or do they make good use of Mundorf AMT?

Does that midrange work for slam and dynamics?

 Thought they made use of full range midrange.
