stereojen, I feel your pain. My present listening arrangement involves a similar nonoptimal 'near field' situation. Glad for you the option of a move is available. I will need a wrecking ball to solve my problem. I too have found those thiels to perform the way you say they do. Nice little speakers until you try to give them a some gas, then they can fall apart. Mostly at higher listening levels though.
Sounds like you want to do some rockin. Hard to say without knowing more about things like budget, but my PSB silver's would do it. They are not for everybody, but IMO are a great value, comparing favorably to many speakers costing much more. You could drive these easily with your amp, and they don't look too bad either. These would also work well in the new bigger room. Good on both heavy stuff and for the lighter detail work.
There's about a billion other speakers that would perform well to your needs. The PSB's are just what I have chosen until I can afford that $multi-k set of aerials I been wantin. Check out the stratus line at psbspeakers.com.
Hope it helps.
