Speakers suggestion that can be driven hard

I have a pair of B&W DM640's. Sound real nice but i have to be real careful with the volume as the tweeter is prone to blowing up. I want to get another set of speakers that I don't have to worry so much about that. i can spend $2000 used. Suggestions?

Jimbones,

I'm not sure any speaker will handle what accidentally happened to your B&Ws. Well, at least not any good speaker anyway.

The PSB Stratus Gold can play loudly and take a lot of power, but if you underpower it, like any speaker, you will blow the tweeters due to distortion, not power.

I have been reading some threads and some people that have older speakers with ferrofluid say it dries out. Maybe that is it? Some songs the tweeter is very clear and on others there is a slight static sound.
