Speakers suggestion that can be driven hard


I have a pair of B&W DM640's. Sound real nice but i have to be real careful with the volume as the tweeter is prone to blowing up. I want to get another set of speakers that I don't have to worry so much about that. i can spend $2000 used. Suggestions?

Jimbones,

I'm not sure any speaker will handle what accidentally happened to your B&Ws. Well, at least not any good speaker anyway.
As Elevick was stating, it doesn't matter what speakers you have; if you're underpowering them, any speaker will fail. It's very hard to ruin a speaker by over driving it, and quite easy to blow a speaker by underpowering it.

Are you sure your amp is powerful enough?
