Tektons are the bomb for rock / metal. Dynamic like a horn but smoother than most horns. They are fast and have great mid bass as well which is key for rock.
Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K
I have nice speakers for acoustics, jazz, vocals, etc. but are not great for rock and roll. Would welcome any recommendations for speakers that do a great job with classic rock and roll. I will add some components in my system that might influence thinking:
New Audio Frontiers Tube Preamp, New Audio Frontiers 845 Tube Power Amp, Lampizator Atlantic DAC, Innuos Zenith Streamer, Tchernov cables.

“@gregjacob Its actually a myth that a speaker can be good for one genre of music (rock) and not another.”
I could not disagree more.. |
Can you measure dynamics and punch of a speaker? I have no idea. I pretty much just know what a flat frequency response looks like on a graph and know that 5 out of 5 will all sound different with similar responses IME. My Tad S-1Ex sucked with most rock metal. They have a similarly flat frequency response as my Focals. The Pioneers have very little punch and comparatively suck for rock against the Focals. Play some acoustic Clapton or similar and the baby Tads sound amazing! I would argue the Focals still have more life but not quite the depth. |
