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???

To all the people who took the time to give informative answers, thank you very much for your time and effort, you have made some great suggestions and I thank each and every one of you.

To the people who wasted their time writing Rhetoric for what must be their own amusement, you have truly peaked my curiosity, please stay tuned for the next thread which will give you all a chance to be heard, it will be something like this:
(Heading)What the Flock is your daily life like?
Your wild nights we know include responding on forums with mind numbing attempts at humor mostly unanswered but once in a while you hit the jackpot and your evening climaxes with some other poor slob chiming in to take your reply to all new lows.
So tell us what are your fun filled days like? I mean you get up at 10 or 11 crack that first cold beer, make it out of the trailer at about noon, then what?
Down to feed the ducks at the park, pick up a couple dirty water dogs; pass out under a tree full of birds returning from a full lunch, wake up and wonder what the hell gets on your face every time you pass out at the park, then its back home just before the little, Scratch that, BIG Woman gets home, Kick back in the recliner until its time once again to head back to The FORUMS posing as an aficionado of music only to prove that not only was Pavarotti right on the mark but also sadly you are not a student of history,. What a surprise... What a shame.

Wow, after writing that, I’m convinced that although your attempts at humor are clearly a waste of menial effort, your days are not so bad at all.

Tacmc5 - A lot of the responses here are from people who are clearly close-minded about music, and really don't know what they're talking about.

To answer your question - Yes, definitely, many high-end speakers and other components are GREAT for rap and rock. Wilson definitely comes to mind. Recently, I spent some time with the Alexandrias at my favorite high-end dealer. I played Snoop Dogg, Guns n Roses, Yo La Tengo, Radiohead, and lots of other stuff. My dealer was in the room when I was playing the Snoop. He loved it, as I don't think he had heard this type of music on these speakers before. It was incredible!

For all of you playa-haters who claim "no rap is decently recorded, blah blah" or "anyone who likes rap should be shopping at best buy" sorry, but you are just plain wrong. Listen to Tupac's "all eyez on me," anything produced by Dre, Nas Illmatic, anything by Tribe called Quest, De la Sol, Biggie "Ready to Die," the list goes on. All sound great, and these are original, masterful pieces of art.

The better the system, the more fun the listening.

Von Schweikiert would probably also be good
Tacmc5,

Just for the record I do own some rap music and I enjoy it too. I started collecting about 15 years ago with RunDMC. I just loved their version of "Walk this Way" done together with Aerosmith...even the video was awesome!

My daughter and her friends love Rap/Hip/Hop stuff...perhaps those that don't like it are simply betraying their age!
