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 think Zu and Magnepans are some of the least "rock" friendly speakers out there. I'd add lower end Martin Logans to that list. Any modern three way floor stander with a >10" woofer in a $2K (used) price range will sound better.

Without a budget specified, sky is the limit. Furthermore, in my experience, rock music only sounds good and "rocks" if/when you listen at higher volumes. If your room size is small to medium and you listen to your music at lower volumes, you’re better off with a good pair of monitor speakers and a subwoofer. I recently heard a pair of Tekton Impact monitors at a colleague’s house paired with a Jolida 3502s and I thought it sounded incredibly good. Pink Floyd’s Final Cut sounded crisp, detailed, with a deep and wide layered soundstage. I don’t think a subwoofer was needed at all. His entire system including a Bluesound Node2 was just a tad over $4K.
