Best speakers to "abuse" for around $2k ?

Thinking about getting additional speakers just for hard rock/heavy metal and sometimes bass heavy music (not rap tho). Amp would be Classe 300w with classe preamp.

Something I can really crank up Kansas ' carry on wayward son and get loud without blowing tweeters. I cranked up that song with audio physic sparks and blew the tweeters. Did same thing with Magnepan 1.6s and 3.6s (fuse blew on those thankfully).
I probably shouldnt have gotten rid of the NHT 3.3s I had but a move to a smaller place necessitated it.

Cerwin Vega maybe work for this spec? thanks

Audio Physic Sparks:
Looks like Peerless 6.5's in a 2.5 way with a 1" Vifa silk dome. One way to go is to "upgrade" to the Vifa Dual Ring Radiator" which have a higher wattage rating. Except for the 5 screws, instead of 4, might "plug in". Problem is that Vifa offers many verions of nearly identical looking tweeters that vary in impedance, range and power handling. Change the impedance and the crossover won't work as planned. Any model #'s for the tweeters?

If you want more bass and dynamics as well... go bigger. The Sparks do quite well for their size.
