Do they make Speakers For Rap/Rock


It seems that from all the discussions and reveiws, I have read that 99% of the speakers that are reveiwed are done with Classical, opera, jazz or other like music. My question is; Do any of the high end speaker manufacturers make audiophile speakers that are designed for the Rap, Hip-hop, hard rock, loud volume listener???

"Can you give us an example of audiophile quality rap recording? Sorry."

Eldarado you assume that the production quality is low on this type of music and if you bothered to listen to some of the music you would find that the producers of this music stretch the bandwidth capture crystal clear vocals and effects, some tracks on 50cents album, Missy Elliot, Aaliyah, Public Enemy, Run DMc, Colors Soundtrack, add lots of Soundtracks are startlingly clear and well defined.

I am always surprised by how good some of the hip hop tracks are produced and make the most of what my system can handle. I usually get a sampling through the Now! pop compilation series and usually the Hip hop selections are the stand out tracks from a production standpoint.

Meyer Sound, ATC or Blue Sky make much more compact monitors than JBL that will easily play into the range you are looking for with the help of a subwoofer.

ATC SCM20 Actives with sub, will fill a 30x30 room pretty well, if you can afford SCM-50,100,150 etc. then the results are obviously better

or

Meyer HD-1 or UPM-1&2's with sub, UPM are PA speakers so if this is the priority then these might be the best choice.

a cheaper alternative but none the less just as usefull would be the Blue Sky Big Blue System, a little more economical but still better than any audiophile speaker in their price class. I think the Big blue Sat 12 Monitors are really inexpensive like $2500 each

Thes systems will take up little space play to the levels you want....survive the party then beat just about every audiophile speaker on the market in their price range.

As time passes "audiophile" speakers are losing ground as the audiophile standard slips and is hardly even competitive with the cutting edge studio systems.
