Well I haven't ever heard any JTR speakers, but there are some shootout threads here on AVS that have compared JTR to PSA. I don't have the links right off the top but could probably dig them up. I recently upgraded to the from the PSA 110 to the PSA 210's. The 110's were plenty loud and clear, I sit about the same distance as you do. I also use the Outlaw 7000x amp to drive all my speakers. I only decided to upgrade to the 210's that little bit extra bit of headroom but the 110s were more than enough for me.
