Suggestions for rock music

I listen to mostly rock based music (no classical, no jazz) at moderate levels in a mid size room and am curious on speaker suggestions. I did a ton of upgrades this past year to every piece of my system except my speakers. I think the SongTowers are absolutely amazing for $2k, but I am wondering if I have surpassed them now with my electronics?

BAT VK-55
K&K Audio Maxxed-Out
VPI Classic w/SoundSmith Zephyr
Salk SongTowers

I read a lot of posts about all these higher dollar speakers you guys are running but I never know what type of music you are listening to. I spoke with Jim at Salk and for my tastes he recommends the next step as the HT2-TL's at $4500 (the smaller HT1-TL's not a good match). I am sure the HT2-TL's are incredible, but the only thing putting me off is the size of them. Any suggestions on something smaller in stature that will give me that realism, imaging, and sound stage?

Why do you think they would want to talk to you? I would think most successful owners/designers have better things to do, or not enough time, to sit at a computer and respond to every email they receive from prospective customers, who, if like many posters here and elsewhere, just want to take up time and space.
I just think excluding brands like PSB because they are successful and the owner cant sit at a computer and answer everyone's email is a mistake.

I have also had good response from PSB, Oracle and Sota. My point was that Vortex was eliminating PSB because he wanted more contact with the owner/designer. While I didnt talk to Paul at PSB, their service people have always been very knowledgeable about the product and are good people. That might be better than dealing with a prima donna owner/designer who thinks everyone elses stuff is garbage.
