Smallest speakers that ROCK

Don't want to deal with back breaking speakers to get the volume, bass, and dynamics required to satisfyingly reproduce rock music. I know this is defying the laws of physics, but has anyone heard a pair of speakers that can be carried one under each arm that can truly ROCK? Can be active or passive, price new or used under $5000. Please no sat/sub systems as I have never heard one that seemed fully integrated soundwise.

von schweikert vr1--mucho slam for the size
acoustic energy ae or evo series--impact like full range floorstanders
qm guru--perhaps the ultimate small r&r speaker

Try the Usher bookshelf speakers.The 718 be are terrific and the little S-520 rock as well.The AAD 2001(designed by Phil Jones)are exceptional,as are his older Platinum Audio Solo speakers.

I've found that Paradigm Reference Studio 20's can rock pretty hard and the 40's even moreso... I would imagine the Signature series models would do even better.

I am floored every time this type of question comes up. Some of those others there, and in my opinion especially the Dynaudios, are too polite and smooth for Rock. I find Proacs to excel at Rock, are small and attractive.
