What high volume but fast rolling tyres for my Cotic Soul?

I have so far tried Mountain King 2.2s (quite quick but a bit of a harsh ride due to their relatively low volume) and Maxxis Ardent 2.25s (comfy high volume ride but a bit slow) on my Cotic Soul hardtail.
What I really want is a nice high volume tyre that is fast! I am not so worried about grip as this is my second bike and I tend to use my Commie Meta 5 for more technical riding (though it has to be said that the Cotic is remarkably good on technical stuff!). The Cotic is meant for smoother faster trails and a road/trail commute mix.

Slidy when wet though, but on rocky, loose terrain or just hardpack they are very good.

Works very well in dry conditions and isn't to bad when it is wet.
probably not for the front though

as fast as a very fast thing wrapped around a speeding bullet beyond the event horizon of a black hole...
The most stupid tyres i've ever owned but very addictive.

Is there anyone like me out there who has a hardtail, likes to race on hardpack, but needs a bigger volume tyre for comfort who can tell me what they use?

The Razer Mx comes up small for a 2.3 (its about 2.1 in reality) but has a reasonable volume. A great compromise of speed (of which there is lots) and comfort, in my opinion.
The Holy Roller is a fat BMX tyre by Maxxis.
This is the exact reason I got the Specialized Captains. My 2nd bike is a rigid and I wanted something to take the sting out off bumps but without using suspension. The tyres were recommended by my LBS and have loads of volume both in width and in height.
