Upgrade to Maggi 3.7i or Tekton Moab?

I’ve got a dilemma. The audiophile bug to continuously tweak and upgrade has got me wanting more and bigger sound out of my system. I’m currently running Maggi 1.7is with a single SVS SB2000pro, driven by Parasound A21+. What I’m finding is in my large room (20x18 with vaulted 18ft ceiling, leading into open kitchen) it just does not deliver the uumph that I am wanting when I want to "feel" the music hit me. I am debating what my next step should be when I am ready to make the jump. Should I go with a bigger Maggi (3.7i) or should I abandon planars and go with the very alive sounding Tekton line. What I have read so far is that the DI and Moab sound very alive. That I think is that sort of thing I feel is a bit thin with my present system. I am expecting to hear (fairly so) that if i want to feel music hit me in that chest, a planar speaker is not for me and I need to go with dynamic driver. That said, I do love the transparency and cohesive sound of the Maggi, so I want it all I guess? =)

Welcoming any advice or food for thought on this.

the Svs don’t give you the impact you need?
add a second?
   Wow, that’s an amazing sub!
 Try the,moabs, their friggin huge, and should quash your ears need for impact!

  Then again, those Maggie’s are killer too.

Problem I found: 
 new speakers need your ears to get used to them.   Plus the break in time.

 Planers need any break in ?

only heard Maggie’s few times at stereo shops, always very impressed by their open enveloping sound. Never could afford the good ones.

 Would love to get the Sanders sound speakers. As he darn near invented them, the curved and even the flat panels.
  I love reading Roger Sanders website. His speakers are amazing, if unsure, check them out. They are amazing,and built by one of the originators of the panel,speaker.
