High power handling speakers

Im looking for a good pair of used front speakers (up to $3.000) that can handle VERY high volume levels in my home theater and sounds great (and loud) with music also -my room is 15x30-. Doesn't matter if its an old model (almost always is there where you can find great prices and quality); quality and power handling is what IM looking for. Thanks in advance for your oppinions

AV123 LS6. There is a pair currently for sale for $3000. These can play loud with authority at whatever level you choose to play at. Signal is distributed amongst many drivers so they do not work hard.

JBL 4435 will play very loud. They are a classic and in good condition they will be about $3K.

I have been reading interesting things over at Avsforum about a speaker called the JTR Triple 12LF. They were designed for the pro market but are now adapted for the home.

Thanks to all for your input. The idea of having several drives is perfect to handle all the power, problem is that the AV123 is way to big for my family room (not a dedicated Home Theater .... yet). I will start my research and aviability in the used market for all the speakers that you recomends me.
If someone have more options, please let me know.

I forgot to mention that, because they will be in my family room, speakers need to be nice in their design, but not necessary "WAF" compliant: I can handle a fight, but not a divorce, if second option happens, Im sure that she and her lawyer will take my audio system out of me!!!!!!
