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??

250watts going thru horns would make my ears bleed!
big no on the Maggies-
consider a 4 ohm Floorstanding speaker like Dynaudio with the SPL around 86-89. I have a pair of the Contour S3.4s. 

These speakers crave and NEED (250 or more watts++) high current to sound their best. 
But when they get it, they do not disappoint. The internal bracing is overbraced to manage the vibrations that are expected from customers listening to high volumes with high current ... eg, rock and roll, large expansive orchestra's, etc. 
In other words, the Nirvana Bleach and Tom Petty album I listened to last week .... rocked!
