Thiels sound very, very good at high volume with rock and roll; and all other types, too. They are also an excellent value on the used market. The model 3.5, 5, and 7 would be the ones for you to take a look at.
Main issue with thiels is their amplifier requirement; ie, difficult load. For optimal performance something along the lines of a powerful Accuphase, Levinson, Krell, Odyssey, or Clayton would be in order. I drove a pair of thiel cs 2.2 speakers with a Levinson 27.5 and never needed more power; room was about 70% of the size you are going to use. The Levinson sounded fabulous and, at under 2000 used, is a good investment. A Levinson 23.5 is rated at double the power and does not sell for much more than the 27.5.
A pair of Threshold SA110 monoblocks also would work well.
Another speaker manufacturer to consider is VMPS. They provide a wide range of models. The VMPW tower will rock your boat.
The Klipschorns, IF mounted correctly in corners with solid walls extending out on each side, will make good bass down to 40hz. Most rock and roll recordings don't go much further down than this. The Klipschorns can be played quite loud and will work well for rock. Hell, most of the speakers you listen to at live shows are industrial horns for the PA system.
