Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno


I love many genres of music. Having a hard time finding a speaker that sounds great with hip hop, techno and rock. Suppose I should mention I've auditioned the Dynaudios Hertiage Specials and Sonus Faber Oylmpia Nova 1s. They sound fantastic with classical, acustic guitar, female voices etc... But what audiophile speaker ..especially at the 7-8k price point doesn't. Idk..  Im starting to think I need two sets of speakers. Sonus Faber Olympica Novas sound beautiful...then maybe a pair for other genres of music. Any suggestions for speakers that sound great for hip hop rock and tecno? I'm only able to do bookshelves...and I do have a pair of RELs already.

My pwr amp is a coda no.8 v2 @ 250w

Surprised no one's recommended Goldenear Triton References.  I've had a pair for 2 years.  Best thing I heard without spending at lease 2x the $$$.  My opinion of course.  I was in the audio business in the late 70's but moved on to another life.  Always kept up with home audio, and I just don't know that there's much competition in that $$$ range.  Before I blow up this thread, this is my opinion only. The bass response is awesome and plentiful and I have always loved Heil tweeters. I was an ESS dealer in the 70's early 80's.   Hope this helps!
