Budget tower speakers that rock!


Hey all!
First timer in here. I know how subjective this gets but I'll ask anyway... I'm looking for a pair of budget tower speakers (under $1000) that really cook w/ rock n roll music. Vintage is OK. I want to play them loud and I like solid bottom end extension. Maybe it's not the most refined sound in the world, but these speakers would (in theory) be exciting to listen to...meaning I'm not concerned w/ a neutral delivery. Again, I know a good speaker is a good speaker regardless of the genre of music being played...but humor me. What do you think are some decent choices to consider? Also, I play mostly vinyl on a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon thru an Outlaw SS2150. Thanks!

Someone mentioned Polk...

Unless you like it VERY bright AVOID Polk’s Rt/RTI/RTi A* towers. They are good for HT and they will pump and thump but...*I used modded RTi A7s for my LR in my HT

Definitive Technology and Polk are under the same parent company. For that reason you should avoid Def Tech HT speakers, too

a good used cheap RnR speaker is the Kef 304 - my first speakers from 40 years ago - still have them😊 Today if you can find them $300?

Won’t have quite the extension of some w/12” or bigger woofers. You will find it’s equally at home w/Boston or the the Boston Pops. One day I will rebuild mine.
