best speakers under $1000 for classic rock?

I am looking for opinions on the best speakers under $1000 for classic rock (Grateful Dead, Doors, etc.) and home theater. I have a 10" Velodyne (CT) sub that will be used and 90 watt Denon AVR. I currently have Polk RT55i which I am impressed with but my ears are not very experienced in stereo/HT equipment. Any thoughts.....

Try a pro dealer for some active Mackie HR824 or 624's. Amps are built into the speakers. If nothing else, a good listening experience.

Straight out, I would say VMPS Tower II.

Will play clear 115db SPL, from 22Hz-25Khz, with audiophile quality (made sterophiles recommended list a couple times)

Two 12" woofers and a 12" PR!!! they weigh 135#. These are what you are looking for.

They list for $1298 (street through a dealer for a couple dollars over your goal)
