I think the Focal Utopia, Vandys or Legacy Focus HD’s would be the best choice for your musical taste. If you’d mentioned classical or chamber music, I would have said the LV’s or Harbeths.

I second the Legacy Focus HD for your taste in music. No subwoofer needed, very efficient, lots of slam and energy.

Thanks charo but those are horrible speakers and I'm not just a punk kid who wants to blast out their neighbors I mainly listen to rhythm and blues , jazz and blues I like soulful music I have been looking at the zu audio speakers but have yet to hear any 

If you’re after a more sophisticated speaker that nails voice and blues guitar, I’d check out the LV OBX-R2’s Trrevell.

Proac D20R's are a fantastic speaker as well as Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Baby Grand SE's.  I think you would like either of these better than the Zu's.
