Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K

I have nice speakers for acoustics, jazz, vocals, etc. but are not great for rock and roll.  Would welcome any recommendations for speakers that do a great job with classic rock and roll.  I will add some components in my system that might influence thinking:

New Audio Frontiers Tube Preamp, New Audio Frontiers 845 Tube Power Amp, Lampizator Atlantic DAC, Innuos Zenith Streamer, Tchernov cables.

I know this is more than you want to spend, but my Clarisys Planars do Rock & Roll pretty well!

Klipschorns or JBL. KEF is a good suggestion also. Although my personal taste would also recomend a Class D amp rather then tubes.

But I know there will be strong disagreement with that comment.....

Definitely SS power amp of any type + horns or Tekton

I'm hearing some things here.   A lot of Klipsch, Volti, JBL horn-type speakers.  Also some suggestions to employ SS amps instead of tubes.  Since I run separates, I'm not opposed to adding a SS power amp and running some rock-dedicated speakers in the same room... it would be cool to have a speaker switch that could direct the pre to the amp / speaker of choice on demand...
