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??

I agree with the JBL recommendations.  Magnepan isn't a good rock speaker really.  I don't know the Gallos but generally speaking, you want a large woofer that isn't crossed over too low.  I'd guess those Gallos are crossing over to the woofer at a pretty low frequency so there are small drivers handling the upper and mid bass.  I've never found that configuration very satisfying with rock.  The JBLs have big 12 inch woofers that are most likely playing up to a few hundred hz.  That makes for a punchy, powerful sound that is a lot of fun.  In my opinion you need at least an 8" woofer to get satisfying punch and 10 or 12 is better.
