i am looking for a bookshelf or stand mountable sized speaker that brings the rock. i listen to alot of stoner, doom and grungy rock as well as classic.rawk.. not much else besides EDM. i have to fly these in checked luggage.

any idears from the Audio Classifieds?
i see Harbeth P3 ESR that is about the right price..

 A couple of years ago, for a bedroom system, I picked up a pair of Wharfedale Denton 80th anniversary speakers. From your request I think they would fit the bill well. Also they are very easy to drive. I use a (preowned) NAD C326 BEE integrated and they sing.
@stevecham 
curious about these Wharfes
would these be an upgrade over JBL LSR 305s?
the 305 is fine 
tends to get a bit shouty when played loud
bass quality is not so good
timbre, depth and texture are more than you could ask for $300 dollars a pairs monitors
Pair of wharfdale jade 3s on Audiogon for $650. Looks like a good deal. I think you want to go with a 3 way speaker for the kind of music you listen to. 
@mofojo 
yes, i saw those. rather damaged on the bottom of one speaker
do you think those are "better" than the Dentons?
especially for rawk?
classic-indie?
