Rock-
older speaker-wise, look no further than Infinity Crescendo series (early 1990's). These are still outstanding for Rock/Hard Rock/Metal music.
A newer design and my reference loudspeaker- Thiel CS 2.4 or CS 2.7. Yes, these will go beyond your stated budget, but, you will look no further. Plays (no pun) Rock music of all kinds, as well as, Jazz / Classical to boot.
These babies love high -power / high-current amps.
Keep me posted & Happy Listening!
