Budget tower speakers that rock!

Hey all!
First timer in here. I know how subjective this gets but I'll ask anyway... I'm looking for a pair of budget tower speakers (under $1000) that really cook w/ rock n roll music. Vintage is OK. I want to play them loud and I like solid bottom end extension. Maybe it's not the most refined sound in the world, but these speakers would (in theory) be exciting to listen to...meaning I'm not concerned w/ a neutral delivery. Again, I know a good speaker is a good speaker regardless of the genre of music being played...but humor me. What do you think are some decent choices to consider? Also, I play mostly vinyl on a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon thru an Outlaw SS2150. Thanks!

I cannot dispute the aforementioned Fluance speakers perform well, they certainly may, just not Canadian made mate.  Designed and Engineered in Canada on the cabinets is code.

l like the PA suggestion.  Ear bleed, nose bleed and gastric distress.  But they will get you there.

Klipsch Premiere Reference. When you get a little more money and have light DIY skills, get an upgrade kit from GR Research. Now you will have a world class, budget rock speaker.

My older son is a pro EDM artist (talking about loud with lots of low, synthesized bass) and loves his modified RP-8000F speakers driven to thunderous levels with another bargain, the Rega IO. So do the other producers, promoters, musicians, etc. that hang at his place. I bring hearing protection when I visit...

The $800 Klipsch speakers will fill up the space and sound balanced and may please your ears. I found them dull, compared to smaller, more musical speakers
