Best speaker for rock music


What is a great, reasonably priced speaker/studio monitor that will really excel on rock/dance/techno? I would imagine this same type of system would also sound great for home theater. I have a small to medium size room, 15' x 13' with cathedral ceilings. I already have a nice audiophile rig but it has the familiar problems with most compressed rock and techno recordings. Thanks, Mike

Klipsch is a good choice for rock. If you don't like the horn, then check out Paradigm, either Monitor or Reference models depending on your budget and taste. My choice would be Reference 40 (plus a sub from either Rel -- if you can afford it -- or Monitor Audio) which would give a bit more moderation in higher frequency and presentation. Go with Monitor series if you want "let it all hang out" presentation. JBL studio pro's are good for rock/dance as well -- perhaps the best value and my choice without a sub -- though you may be better off with Paradigm monitors and a sub considering the room size. I can't say the ones I mentioned are the best speakers for rock; but, you will get bangs for buck... Go Vikes!!!!
