Help with used "rock" speakers under 4K

Hi to all,
I am new on this board and would like to ask for speaker recommendation.
Looking for used speakers, under 4000.00 for listening to rock music ( loud and deep bass)
For other music - i got the magnepans 3.6r
my room is about 30x35 and ceiling 20ft (open to the top)
I have search the forums and came u with couple choices:
- B&W Matrix 801
- Aerial Acoustics 10T

any other suggestions?
Thanks a lot.

thanks,
i will keep Magnepans - just planing to get another speakers with more "air moving".
looking at past threads - another option i see is Thiel 3.5

only problem is - maybe someone has experience with large room

The Aerials are nice speakers and worth listening to. I would also suggest you listen to the Vandersteen 3A sigs. They will, with power behind them move a lot of air. I tried a pair as an alternative to my Maggie 2.7s and they moved a lot of air. I couldn't afford to keep both so ultimately stuck with the Maggies.

Go for the 801's. I love mine. They replaced my Thiel CS6's because they do wonderful things with all the music I love. They are outstanding on everything from Mozart to Megadeth.

FYI If you buy the 801 S3's and feel you also need the Sound Anchor Stands. Keep an eye out here, mine will be posted for sale soon. They are not my cup of tea.

The Cerwin-Vega XLS-215 for about $1,000 is apparently a contender. They may be embarrasing to own, but not listen to. Google up a review or two. Perhaps with the left over $3,000 you can have some custom cabinets made.
