If you were to choose a speaker that really rocks, Martin Logan would not be at the top of the list. They work fine for me but I have learned not to shake the house down, it gets expensive when you push the limits.
Follow Ups:
Just looking to crank them at certain times - just to get the juices flowing.
What to hear the big Tom toms and kick drum bass and snare cracks.
Dynamic swings - will they be capable without damage ?
The other posters think they will be alright
Really like the sound, but don't want expensive repairs..

IMO, they can be cranked up without any real problems. I'm driving mine with a 60 W Pass amp in a 19 X 23 room. Granted, they are not horns, but they are surprisingly dynamic, more so than I expected.
That said, I do have to vacuum them about every 6-8 weeks for them to sound their best. They do attract dust.

What kind of amp do you have? I have mine biamped w 850 on the stat and 850 on the woofer into 4 ohms. My odysseys go plenty loud. Have never had an issue and have never heard of anyone damaging their logan with high volume. Some of the older models had issues as the aged and the panel would start to get dull sounding. Mine haven't. And the new ones do not have the issue.
These are non smoking - low humidity types of speakers. I.e. Not best for the tropics. Remember the stat has a static charge so smoke, dust get attracted to the static charge on the panel.
I too am curious to Russ's comment. Not sure if he was referring to the speaker being damaged or things in the room. :)
