What Speaker are Great for Rock and Roll $5K-20K

Bugtussels bass is transmission line like the Shahinian. Could we have a connection here?

Under 5K Klipsch. Over 5K Shahinian Diapasons (12K). These babies can play louder than your body can stand. The bass is unreal and extends to 23 cycles or so. The speakers were designed with the intent of reproducing the full range of a symphony orchestra. It just so happens that rock and roll places similar demands on a loudspeaker. This is likely the last loudspeaker I'll ever own.
P.S. There is a thread with several good suggestions called "Speakers for Rock"
P.S.S. I agree with Sean. The Krells should be great for rock.

Again Sean another brilliant post. You hit the nail on the head. "Sustained SPL's without compression".
I heard Rush at the United Center in Chicago about a month ago. Damn they rock!!!!
The only way to really reproduce that experience is to generate the SPL's I experienced at that time. For me, that involves driving my speakers with my 380 watt/channel amp almost clipping.

I disagree with phasecorrect. Technically speaking, it is possible to be killed by the pressure of a sound wave. If someone were to be really jamming down to some serious SPL's they could be at risk of death. Therefore since life is short and one never knows when they might die, it makes sense to spend 50 or a hundred thousand dollars on a pair of speakers.
Carpe Diem
PS On a more serious note. In my case, I like many different types of music. Last night before jamming to Rush "The Spirit of Radio", I listened to all of Coplands Third Symphony. For me, it makes sense to have a $12K pair of speakers.
