Maybe MartinLogan not best for AC/DC at 96 db..??

So what would you all suggest ?
Im building a new system, and tryin to figure out which way to go with front main speakers (they may be for both stereo/phono setup, as well as possibly the HT)

I was originally, and still leaning to Paradigm, studio ref 100`s or maybe some used signature S8`s if i can find a real sweet deal on a set.

I saw a pair of Martin Logan Sequal II`s and started thinking to myself...are either of these really the best for blaring out Led Zep or Puddle of Mud at earth shattering decibals ?

I dont want to BS myself into thinking thats not exactly what im going to do. I do listen to classical now and again, and Pink Floyd maybe has different affect on speakers than say Filter hehe. But most likely is me lifting weights to Linkin Park or Alice In Chains. (yes i already have tinnitus, i have to take it easy with any headphones or the ringing is bad for 1-3 days...but with no headphones...well screw it, a guy has gotta live !). And yes, if the mains do make it onto the HT..i crank that up often too!

So, what would you all suggest ?? I used to love Cerwin Vega years ago, but id heard theyd gone to crap, maybe some nice JBLs ..? I just didnt think theyd handle an amp like the Technics SE-A5 MKII with its .002 THD as well as say the Paradigms. But i also dont want to ruin some beutiful S8`s either. B&W ..? Lets hear some suggestions.

Thanks
PS: suggestions on a preamp for the Techincs amp are greatly appreciated. HT preamps i got a handle on. But 2 channel ...ehhh...unsure..i dont wanna ruin the sound of that amp, so im tryin to figure that out
