High Efficiency Dynamic Speaker Suggestions Please


I currently have Von Schweikert VR4jr's driven by Rawson class D monoblocks. These amps have really opened the dynamics openness of the speakers. Recently I heard Opera M12 horn speakers and I loved the presentation, they were even more open and "real" sounding. My thinking is to get them or something similar that offer that dynamic presence that the vr4's don't. I am totally unversed in this type of speaker but would love to learn more. After a lot of research I have come up with some possible speakers including Emerald Physics CS2, Audiokinesis Jazz Modules, Pi speakers, Tyler PD15 or PD30 or the Consonance. Several questions come up. Will my amps be OK with the Opera? My speaker positioning is limited. Placement is 18" off of back wall and 7' apart. Listening position is 10' away. Room size is 17' x 22' x 8'. I have a large LCD TV between the speakers. Are these types of speakers room dependant as much as the VR? Do the have better image depth as the VR? Any and all help is appreciated.

Ait, thanks for the response however I am not interested in a sub(s). I also am a bass junkie. Phil Brady.
Duke, my profile has a photo of the room. What it doesn't show is the side walls. The right side has a 6 foot glass french door and the left side has a leather couch with 6 feet of windows 3 foot tall. The windows have wood blinds. The rear wall has a six foot sliding glass door located on the right side. The glass slider has heavy drapes that are usually drawn. What type of amp would you recommend for your speakers? Phil Brady.
Ditusa, thanks for the response and the JBL recommendation. I am curious, what do you recommend for ideal placement? Also, what amp are you using? Phil Brady.
Jaybo, any amp suggestions? The hypex class d sound very good to me and I thought my speakers were voiced with them. Phil Brady
