Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K

The reality I think, is that rock and roll goes hand in hand with loud. Anything can play loud, but so much music is compressed, as so many speakers. This is why I threw in that jazz piece as a demo for everyone to try. Playing Satch and Ozzy means nothing. BTW, my favorite Satch is his '95 recording, for sq. There are many more excellent tracks that can be used to demonstrate superior aspects of dynamic range, transient response, etc. Keeping it simple, listen to Your Momma Don't Dance, by L&M....a much better recording to evaluate what some of us are talking about here. Playing loud and playing clean, simultaneously, is at the heart of the matter, ime. My best, MrD

Dynamics and transients are key characteristics in producing lifelike sound. I never heard an 86db speaker excel at these, no matter what amp / amps were used. Keep in mind, rock and roll recordings are generally very compressed, compared to classical and jazz, at least ime. If you just want loud, you really need high sensitivity speakers. And if you want control, you need good ss, at least with the power amp. The louder one wants to play, the room plays an important, constant part of all this. My last point. A good system as described above, does not care what music is playing. Enjoy ! MrD.

Play " Housed From Edward " from Trio Jeepy. Not rock. But crank this, and see what your system brings to the table. Being there are fan boys of all types, and those stating mine is bigger than yours..... I Love my Lascalas ! BTW, interesting that the op has not posted in 5 days.
