"My first pair was Altec Lansing 510's. Those things could ROCK" "ProAc Response Ones which I thought were even better at everything EXCEPT DYNAMICS" "built a pair of Proac Response 1SC clones. Again very nice BUT LACK DYNAMICS for some rock." "HEAD MUSIC is my favorite...don't have a problem using a sub." (Stereo)
Not knowing your room, setup, acoustics, etc, (you did mention, besides being a bit of ahead banger, that you want to be able to move around the room, and still hear quality sound), I suggest looking at both active speaker designs, multiple drive designs with good efficiency (yes, larger Dappolito designs), traditional designs with good efficiency, with larger bass drivers, and also designs with powered subwoofers built in. And, lastly, you could do somekind of descent efficiency Dappolito (woofer-tweeter-woofer design) higher end speaker, crossing over to a subwoofer or two!!
Yep, you've got options.
Without getting to much into all those options, and what all is out there to cover those options, and adress your needs, you might strongly consider looking into a used pair of Infinity Prelude MTS full range speakers! (including active 2500 watt 12" powered subs attached to each tower)
At $8k a pair, new/retail, these offer the advantages of powered subwoofers (like a superbly well integrated sub/sat system, but better), with multiple upper/mid-bass/mid-range drivers (like 4 of them per speaker, plus a midrange/tweeter combo, sanwiched between all of that) - These are very high quality, high-end speakers, with a very clear, transparant, deatiled, un-colored design! They are slighly foreward to neutral in pressentation, and mate SUPERBLY with the kind of electronics you have (well balanced, slightly laid back).
Anyway, I think this is an attractive, well build solution (plus the woofers are not only detachable, but come with a parametric EQ to help placement - very good stuff indeed.
While no speakers are perfect, I think these would offer you the best advantages, SUPERB DYNAMICS and extension, while still offering a very detailed, coherent, un-colored, hi-end sound!
Anyway, I can think of nothing right now that would do you better...
Good luck
