I've got the 3.7's too and I don't think I'd recommend it for what he's listening to. They're very resolving and the quality of the bass is outstanding but I prefer something a little meatier sounding for hard rock. I've also got a pair of ATC SCM110s that are great for rock. They'll play loud, clean and they roll the highs off just a bit. It makes them more forgiving of harsh recordings and the dynamics make them a ton of fun for electronic or hard rock. I prefer the Thiels for smaller scale acoustic music.
Imagine how boring the internet would be if folks were as civil here as they are in person.

What amplifier are you using? My 3.7's sound amazing with hard rock and everything else. They can play very loud when driven with my Parasound Halo A21. However, I use a subwoofer for the bottom octave.What amplifier are you using?

I'm running a pair of Cambridge 840s bridged mono. It's at least 600 watts/channel into 4 ohms. There's no problem with bass extension, texture or punch. The bass quality is fantastic. I just don't think the Thiels are what I'd spend 8-10k on if I listened to his music. I think the high and mid resolution of the Thiels goes to waste. First order crossovers are also not ideal for headbangers.
If it were me I'd be looking for something active. Preferably a sealed box. High order crossovers. I'd probably be thinking Vintage King rather than a hi fi shop.
