Audiophile speakers that rock well

I am interested in a monitor sized speaker that does all the audiophile tricks, but can also rock the house without bleeding my ears. Can I get both in a single speaker? I've heard some real good speakers that do vocals, acoutical type music well, but absolutle fail at R & R. Can I have the soundstaging, the imaging, etc.etc. With a speaker that rocks? Budget is $3K

Krell Resolution 3. I've owned a pair for five years. They can rock. The 8" woofer gives an added weight that many monitors with smaller drivers don't have. Excellent power handling with the Resolution 3, and you want that with a rockin' speaker. These speakers will play LOUD. But they are quite refined as well. There is a good review of them on 6 moons, just google Krell Resolution 3. And they look really nice to boot. In the used market they can be found within your budget.

Used Dynaudio Special 25's will do the trick...

I think you would be amazed by the Fritz Carbon 7. I replaced a pair of Paradigm Reference Studio 100 v.4's with a pair. Huge bang for the buck from a small boutique manufacturer. They do everything you would ever want from an audiophile speaker, soundstage, imaging, tonality and vocals and will rock beyond imagination when asked to. They go low for a small speaker with usable bass down into the 30's. They fit your budget, too. Give Fritz a ring and arrange an in-home trial. You will be glad you did.
