Audiophile speakers that rock well

I am interested in a monitor sized speaker that does all the audiophile tricks, but can also rock the house without bleeding my ears. Can I get both in a single speaker? I've heard some real good speakers that do vocals, acoutical type music well, but absolutle fail at R & R. Can I have the soundstaging, the imaging, etc.etc. With a speaker that rocks? Budget is $3K

As someone who's owned a couple of highly regarded "pro audio" monitors, & a ton of "audiophile" speakers, I'd say:

Totem Mani2 Sigs--they "do everything", IMO. Get them w/the Totem stands. You'd have to get them used for your budget. And I haven't owned Dynaudios, but I'd add those to your list. Most Totems & Dynaudios like lots of high quality SS power of course.
