Speaker match?

I love the idea of going out on a hunt again for new speakers. The Thiels are nice but sometimes struggle when I'm in a heavy metal high-volume mood. I even notice that spirited piano compositions like Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody #2 will make them cry uncle at "correct volumes".

I''m not knocking them, I spent a lot of time and money restoring them and am still amazed at how low that 5 something inch woofer can go, but like cubic inches, there's no replacement for displacement. Now that I have 100 wpc to play with I would love to get some recommendations for a floor stander that can handle it. WAF requirements are active as this is the "visible by all visitors" system.
