Anything better than 1.7 Maggies

Hi,
I've been looking for speakers for some time now. I have an older pair of Maggies (10.1s) and I love the sound. I want to go for the 1.7s but am wondering if there's any used product out there for around $4k which would be even better for my music (rock.. some pop and classical at times) maybe reproduce the crack of a (snare) drum (rather than the thump) better (where i think Maggies lack but I am not sure if the x.7s have the same problem).. I wanted to try Emerald Physics 2.3 but they are rare to find.

I know people would have asked this before but please help.
My amp:
Rotel RB 1090 (380 WPC)
Though my room is big about 25x10 my sitting position will be about 6 feet from the speakers.
Thanks!

Thanks guys. I will check out the Tympanis, Kingsounds and still trying to hear the Emerald Physics. In the meanwhile my budget has expanded a little and I spent some time listening to the Magnepan 3.7s. They sounded great to me but I am still a little scared of the size ( to answer Mike - my new listening room is 19*18).
I researched a bit and people say the Gallos 3.5 ref are the best bet compared to Maggies, they sound the same if not better. I want to compare them specifically to the 3.7s and I wonder if anyone has done that comparison. I know Gallo made mistakes with pricing but I am wondering if it is worth giving these a shot. I am getting a virtually new pair for about 4.5k.. please let me know what you think.
