Note that just because a speaker is high efficiency doesn't mean it's going to be more dynamic, have more "oomph" as you say, than a low efficiency speaker. The speaker must be capable of high output and small high efficiency single driver systems or those using small woofers and dome tweeters generally have no more output than low efficiency speakers.
Now when you get into big woofers (15s or double 12s) or basshorns and compression drivers on horns, now you're talking big-time dynamics.
IMO of the speakers you mentioned only the Cornwall is a real heavy hitter.
