can harbeth speakers play loud

hello,
I'm considering upgrading my speaker setup from my sonus faber grand piano (home) to harbeth 40.1's. I'm wondering if they will play as loud as my sonus fabers without hurting the speakers or the sound?I'm not trying to recreate a rock concert I just wanna be able to crank em every now and again without having to worry I'm gonna hurt something. I heard the harbeths are made to really show they're strengths at lower volume levels. thanks for any input.

Regarding Harbeths, Playing how loud has a direct relation with you room as they react with the room a lot! Could you tell your room size?

my room size is 14' x 20'. I'm planning on using a cinepro 2 ch. amp that puts out about 300 Watts at 8 ohms for now with a jl audio fathom sub. I plan on upgrading the amp next. I apologize if the question sounds kinda dumb, I just had heard that the harbeths were really made to play at low volumes so I wanted to make sure that playing them loud every once in a while wasn't going to ruin them or make em sound funny. I'm just trying to get as much info as I can before I buy.
