Progressive Rock

Have any of you specifically built your system to listen to progressive rock, i.e. Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, etc.? I'm curious because I have, and was wondering what components you have found that lend themselves well to this particular type of music. The reason I asks is that I attended the Home Entertainment show last month in NYC. And not one of the rooms I visited were playing rock of any kind - and they did not seem receptive to taking request - especially at the volume I would need to hear before plunking down oh say $12,000 for a pair of speakers. Any incite you care to share is appreciated. Thanks, Matt...

Did I build this for Prog Rock? - I built it for everything, and Prog Rock is always close by, and I don't have to make excuses.
While my speakers may not be what you think of as Prog Rock big-thump speakers, with the sub up-a-bit, and the crossover set a little higher than normal, DSOTM sounds quite outrageous thank you.
With the monster image that comes from the ML's, as well with how fast they are with transients from synthesizers (try some Brain Salad Surgery), at warp volume, life is good.
Now, if only they had "welcome back my friends..." on DVD.
