Seeking Rock&Roll Speakers

Looking for speakers that can rupture my cochlea without distortion.
My Thiel 2.3 SEs excel at Jazz, Classical, and most Rock but I'm afraid to crank them to Grand Funk levels.

I think Tyler or Bryston monitors may do the trick.
These are in the $3000 - $4000 range.

My integrated puts out 150 w/p/c @ 8 ohms (double that @ 4).

Any non-horn options I've overlooked?

Dweller - Thiel CS6. I have used Thiel 3.6 for 15+ years, have owned and listened to other speakers and could never get the Thiel sound out of my system. I just put CS6's in my system and they have exceeded my expectations.

There is a pair up for auction and also another pair from a Thiel enthusiast downsizing, consider them....I have no affiliation just a longtime and permanent Thiel lover.

+1 for Zu speakers. I have the Druid V's, I mostly listen to jazz but they can definitely rock out and play other genre's equally well.

JBLs are great, but there's really no model in that price range in the US lineup. If the price were to be doubled, than the 1400 Arrays, easily.
