Is there such a speaker...(loud but smooth)?

Hi all!

I am wondering...Is there a speaker that will get quite loud (almost concert level volume) but still have soft smooth highs at higher volumes than most home audio speakers?

I ask because I am looking for some speakers that will kick butt. I want to feel the music but I do not want to have ice picks driven through my ears.

My Veruty Audio Parisifal Ovations can go really really loud and all the while they never once loose the sweet signature sound.......Did I say loud? Cuz I mean LOUD!

Several speakers have tweeter attenuators, among them the Magnepan 3.6s. With some speakers you can bi-amp, and then you can put small resistors in-line with the tweeter section.

Also, for 'loud' listening sessions maybe just put a washcloth or sound absorbing foam in front of your tweeter! Of course that wouldn't work on these:

It is actually really easy to dampen high frequency noise.

You could even just use cables that tame brightness. Lots of cables can do that.
