Do the big Maggies play LOUD

I'm a fan of largish speakers and I like the ability to rock on occasion. I also remember how good my old Maggies did strings and vocals even though they were the smallest entry level model. Just curious is the big ones can compete with dynamic speakers in the volume dept. Considering 3.6's as the 20's are a little outa my range.
My room has vaulted ceilings, is 25' long and around 14' wide.
Cheers!

It seems to me that asking for speakers to play really LOUD is like asking for a car to do 150 MPH top speed. I agree that 0-60 in 5 or 6 seconds is fun, but how often do you drive 150 MPH? I have a pair of Maggie 3.6s, and I like to listen at loud volumes at times (especially when my wife is out of town 8^) My previous speakers were B&W N803s, and with a Bryston 4BSST powering them, they could get loud, but I don't think that I ever played them louder than I play the Maggies. The room is reasonably large with 12 foot ceilings, and believe me, the 3.6s can go louder than I care to listen.
