Best used speaker for $2,000 for rock music

The headline says it all. I am looking for a change. I am selling my Proac Studio 250's. Why? I don't know. It is a brutal addiction. The Proacs sound beautiful. But I am looking for a classic rock speaker. Klipsch cornwalls or something like that. I need to feel it in the gut, know what I mean?
I need to know what the best speaker for classic rock in this price range would be.
Any Ideas?
Thanks

Klipsch KLF-30 Legend Tower Floorstanding Speakers.
One 1” compression driver loaded horn
One 1.5” compression driver loaded horn ,Two 12” Woofers
I still use a pair for home theater setup.
They play loud and sound really good with rock and have a ton of bass.
should be able to find a used pair for around 1000.00 or so.
They are big so you will need space for them.

Im not a BIG JBL fan. However, I would agree that they are very good speakers especially for the rocking dynamics you want. I have heard the 250Ti's some years back and liked them for their excellent dynamics..There is a pair of 250's for sale here on Agon(not the Ti version) that fits your price range, Happy Listening-Ken

Klipschorns, or chorus2 and klf30 Actually, Reading other threads above, I have heard most everything up there except for Schweikert VR2s, and I know k-horns will blow them all out of the room {literaly}!Hook up some 600 watt monoblocks, and put your seat belt on,compare to the JBL, cant, they are in a different leauge.

If you have the amps to push them properly, Thiel CS3.6's can rock out pretty hard (and still sound killer on jazz and classical!).
