Speakers 2K- 3K range used or new


I am building a $10,000 system for a friend and he wants something that is musical and can play loud, mostly rock, jazz like Steely Dan and old 70's & 80's rock. He is not an audiophile and is currently using a 25 year old Panasonic reciever. I was thinking of the B&W 802 Matrix or the Aerial 10Ts.

What else should I consider?

Thanks.

Thanks so far for all the posts. To answer some questions, I have known my friend Bill for 40 years, we are very close. When he heard my system which is still on the move daily, he asked me for some assistance. So I posted to get some ideas. Bill is using a Panasonic Techniques receiver, the same one since we were in 7th grade. He will never spend time on this stuff or play around with cables, etc., other things in his life are mcuh more important. He just wants a better system with better sound. Some persons who posted missed some of my basic information about the need to play loud. I know Bill, he knows me, we have similiar tastes in music, mine is more extended into Jazz (Miles) and female vocals and classical since my wife also has my musical taste. Bill already has a dedicated room for music just no system. I want to get him started with some good sound companies and equipment, and not get into to much in the way of tweaks. Good cables, power cords, etc. will also be included.

Hope this is more of a help. And all comments are very much appreciated.
