Best rock/jazz speaker under $10k used

What speaker under $10k used can rock hard but also bring out the best in jazz voice? I love the sound of planars for voice, but I sometimes I really want to shake the walls and bring out the best in a power chord. Opinions?

They have good vocals and strong bass. The drivers lack ultimate integration and resolution. But at their current used prices they are a very good deal. The big dynamics will be good for rock music.
