Speaker company :HHR exotic speakers

If I listened to classical, vocals, and wasn't a rock and roller... these would be first on my list without question.  I've heard them playing classical at moderate volumes at shows and they are ridiculously good.

But if I popped in 90% of my collection at the volumes I like... I would shread them.

A speaker that can not reliably do 105 dB peaks is pretty worthless. I was never a big Walsh fan. Low bass Doppler distorts everything else the driver is playing. String Quartets Only.

Experiencing TLS1s a couple of years ago at Axpona remains one of my most memorable audio highs. BUT... even in a smallish hotel room Dale would not play them at higher than moderate volume.  It probably doesn't matter, as I don't reach 90db anymore in my system. This approximates the SPL of a lawn mower.  My main concern is possible destruction from a transient pulse such as an accident with a phono stylus.  Maybe a sub with an active crossover would an acceptable workaround, albeit antithetical to the single-driver crossover-less time and phase coherent Walsh design.            

I owned a set of the original Ohm Fs back in the mid-1970s and they were my favorite speaker of all time. In a home environment the volume limitation never bothered me, even though I was in my 20s then. To this day, my average listening volume is about 85 dB max. I currently have a set of Ohm 1000s which I enjoy greatly, though they do seem to miss that last bit of magic that I remember hearing with the Fs. (Interestingly, the modern Ohms don't have a volume problem.) However, I don't have the room for anything bigger than the 1000s so the issue of HHRs is irrelevant for me.
