Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K


I have nice speakers for acoustics, jazz, vocals, etc. but are not great for rock and roll.  Would welcome any recommendations for speakers that do a great job with classic rock and roll.  I will add some components in my system that might influence thinking:

New Audio Frontiers Tube Preamp, New Audio Frontiers 845 Tube Power Amp, Lampizator Atlantic DAC, Innuos Zenith Streamer, Tchernov cables.

I don't think you need to listen loud to enjoy rock.  A clean, dry, hard, loud sound that it seems some are advocating for may sound good initially, but your ears will hate it after some time.  Give me the bass, give me the texture, crunch, extended warm guitars and I am happy.  

I have never heard ATC, but for some reason I got the impression they were more on the colder analytical side.  I thought maybe I read a review or something.  Anyway, am I wrong on that assumption?

I'm not the expert that is for sure, but I have definitely heard some speakers do it for me on rock that others do not.  But that is the great thing about this hobby is we have different flavors for people, even stuff that is imperfect may be someone's cup of tea.   I  have never heard Klipsch, with the exception of 1982 when I heard the big horns, I was just 14 years old so it was a long time ago but I thought they sound great with rock.  But back then I didn't have a reference to compare them with.  Anyway, aren't the Klipsch Cornwalls and Forte speakers supposed to sound great with rock?
