You must remember that your open plan layout requires bigger speakers with alot of bass output. Here are a few things to consider:
1: Is the room very lively, if you talk loudly do you hear revereration of echo of your voice in the space, if it is very reflective then speakers which tend to sound bright might be a bad thing.
2: What kinds of music do you like to play?
3: How loud do you play?
The Alto Utopias that Inna mentioned are quite excellent they have a big sound and will work well with the Rouges which tend to sound a bit rolled off and lack a bit of bass control but the JM Labs also tend to be a bit on the Hard side, so the combination should be excellent.
How many squre feet is the room including ceilings?
Leacy speakers are a steal they sound like $15k speakers yet are brand new at $7k and they have a smooth sound in the top, and a lot of bass.
Older Kef 207.2 are awesome.
The Dali Helicon 800 you mentioned are terrific as well.
