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.

Horn speakers avoid tubes amps but use tubes for the preamp…Pass Labs XA25 or First Watt amps…

Tekton Moab’s fit the bill well.

No reason for tubes whatsoever if pop/rock electronically amplified music is your thing.

I vote for the Legacy Focas. I have them, love their rock and roll ! I'm powering them with Legacys V series amps. 1000 Watts. I tried a set of Tekton Double Impacts but did not like the tweeter array. They were a good speaker, just not for me.

I will always be running a tube preamp.  It's a work of art.  But would opt to run a SS power with a set of rock dedicated speakers.  Recommendations for excellent ss power amps to compliment?  Pass Labs was recommended...
