Great sound at high volume

I am looking for speakers that can deliver great sound at very high volume without being damaged. Any suggestions.

But, generally speaking, if very high volume is a major criteria, your best bet is to get horn speakers -- Klipsch K-horns would be an obvious choice, since they are very efficient and will play at ear-bleed levels. Personally, I have yet to hear any horn speaker that delivers what I regard as "great sound". I concede I have not heard some of the latest horn models, so perhaps others can comment.

What do you consider very high volume? Very high volume only or does quality of sound have anything to do with things also? Seriously. Not to mention what amp you would need. Some to many amplifiers will compress and/or constipate at higher volumes and/or when reproducing complex music.
