Audiophile system for Techno and Dance music


Hello fellow audiophiles. What would be your choice of speakers (and other components) for audiophile listening of Techno (!) and Dance music, in a moderate size room ?

Good quality prosound drivers often have 10-20 dB more clean headroom than what’s normal for high-end home audio drivers, which translates to a very relaxed sound even at fairly intense home audio sound pressure levels. Prosound woofers and midwoofers tend to not go particularly deep, so often subwoofers may be called on to fill in what’s missing. I use prosound drivers and often rely on subwoofers for the bottom end. That being said, there are speakers with prosound-type drivers which do go deep... the Classic Audio T-1, T-3 and Hartsfield come to mind, along with the JBL M-2.

If you’re like me, when no one’s looking you just might jump out of your chair and dance around, in which case you’d want good sound over a fairly wide area, and you’d want to NOT lose the highs when you stand up.

And if you’re going to dance around, then imo you probably want speakers which sound good right up against the wall, so that they do not intrude on the dance floor area, especially if it’s not a huge room.

Do you have a general price range in mind?
