There seems to be some varying opinions on the Devore O series speakers when playing rock. I've seen the occaisonal person who demoed them and found them too polite with rock. I think this might be because they do not have an agressive top end. It's open and airy, but "easy on the ears."
On the other hand, you'll be hard pressed to find a speaker with a thicker, more "meaty" presentation near their size. So it sort of depends, perhaps, what an individual seizes upon as the character that stands out.
In my case, like a number of other people, I found the Devores to be particularly great with rock! (Mostly Rush, Van Halen, some others).The 0/93s have big, rich, "feel it" bass, good snap for drums, and do electric guitars beautifully as a thick wall of sound. A lot of other speakers sound wispy and smaller by comparison with rock.
So the Devores had a great sense of drive, richness, palpabiity and power that sold the energy of rock, while being just polite enough on top to allow my ears to relax when listening (as distorted guitars can be pretty edgy to listen to over much time, if given too much prominence IMO).
I'd think the characteristics I described would map on well to the groups you mention.
Hope that helps.
