Can these speakers handle Neil Young's Le Noise?

Consider horns you will not reach the limits on a horn based loudspeaker like you will a dynamic based design.

Agreed, which is why I suggested the Classic Audio Reproductions. Its the only horn that I have listened to recently.

Forgot treble. The la noise 2 channel blu ray disc has the most ridiculous amount of bass on any disc I own. I guess it is harder to blow up a JL113 sub than a tweeter though.

If you are in the market for a 30K speaker and listen to a lot of acoustic music, you could consider the Verity Audio Sarastro. My smaller Parsifals work magic in a smaller (13 x 20) room. There are two pairs listed at the moment. Not the type of speaker you buy without listening first though.

Horns are the solution but sure poster will go dynamic and keep having issues. Like another dynamic tweeter of hi quality will not blow. Well its good for the industry. Keep buying.

Agree with the Classic Audio Reproductions speakers, but not as a particularly good match for the JC-1s unfortunately (I'm somewhat familiar with both, and with speaker/amplifier matching issues).

Faugello62, assuming you don't want to change amplifiers, my suggestion is that you take a look at the designs of Earl Geddes, here. His speakers work well with solid state amps, will play extremely loud and clean, and in your price range custom finishes are quite feasible. I used to assemble speakers for Earl, so am quite familiar with his approach and borrow heavily from it in my own work.

Several years ago I listened to Earl's system at SPLs so loud you had to shout to the person next to you, but the music was still so smooth that it did not hurt your ears. I have only had that happen once before, and that other system cost over $110,000.00. Earl's system will do it for about half your budget, not counting custom finishes.
