speakers with balls

I had the Triton 1s as well. Yes they were a good rock Speaker. I only sold them to go to bookshelves for a small room in the basement where I was banished;-). Voices with tv bothered me for some reason.

Magnepan 1.7 or the 1.7i’s will do the trick with proper amplification and speaker placement will knock your socks off. I would recommend that if you purchase either make sure you get a pair of DWM’s. They worked great when I had the 1.7i’s.

Second the Dynaudio recommendation if you’re looking for an “audiophile” speaker that can still rock. The Esotar drivers can handle a lot of power without too much compression. For a smaller speaker, the Special Forty is very ballsy, and has a full mid bass that I think will work well with rock. A little under damped for my tastes tho so may not be your cup of tea if you like super tight bass.

And no offense to the Maggie folks, but I don’t see how those otherwise fine speakers could ever qualify as “rockers”. :)

Another vote for Goldenear. The built in powered woofers on some models are very well integrated sonically and offload your amp to spend its energy on the mids and the high-tech tweeter.
