Best used speaker for $2,000 for rock music

The headline says it all. I am looking for a change. I am selling my Proac Studio 250's. Why? I don't know. It is a brutal addiction. The Proacs sound beautiful. But I am looking for a classic rock speaker. Klipsch cornwalls or something like that. I need to feel it in the gut, know what I mean?
I need to know what the best speaker for classic rock in this price range would be.
Any Ideas?
Thanks

The Aerial 10T is a Monster at $2200-2700 used. It will eat some of the above speakers for breakfast. They love to play loud! I am serious some speakers sound great at lower levels. The Aerials come to life under Rock and Roll concerts. They are great top to bottom and feature the new england style sound which is a slightly softer top end which is perfect for Rock as many recordings are less than steller.

I second the JBL's!
Clear, loud, and clean on rock. Even their smaller monitors hold together well at higher SPL's. This applies with their slightly older speakers. I'm not real familiar with their newer designs.

Klipsch KLF-30 Legend Tower Floorstanding Speakers.
One 1” compression driver loaded horn
One 1.5” compression driver loaded horn ,Two 12” Woofers
I still use a pair for home theater setup.
They play loud and sound really good with rock and have a ton of bass.
should be able to find a used pair for around 1000.00 or so.
They are big so you will need space for them.
