Seeking Rock&Roll Speakers


Looking for speakers that can rupture my cochlea without distortion.
My Thiel 2.3 SEs excel at Jazz, Classical, and most Rock but I'm afraid to crank them to Grand Funk levels.

I think Tyler or Bryston monitors may do the trick.
These are in the $3000 - $4000 range.

My integrated puts out 150 w/p/c @ 8 ohms (double that @ 4).

Any non-horn options I've overlooked?

I think I was unclear in my objectives.
My Thiel 2.4s are really great speakers and do 85% of
my music well.
But sometimes, e.g. during a full moon, I get the urge to
just crank it up.
"Wang Dang Sweet Poon-tang" needs to be played LOUD!
I'm looking for some bulletproof mini-gun type speakers
to meet my occasional needs.
Something I can swap with the Thiel's when the mood is right.

BTW: I'm not worried about my amp having enough power,
I'm worried about shredding the 3" coincident driver
and the headaches involved with its repair.
