Im looking for Speakers/Sub to play rap mostly


Ive got a system im building for my best friend and im curious myself.

A couple years ago we scored at magnolia's closing and got Mcintosh gear at prices we should have never seen.

Any way his system is starting at a

MVP871 DVD Playe
C46 Preamp
and thinking of the MC402 for the amp

Ive been looking at the Legacy focus 20/20 and the Focal Mezzo Utopia (3 to 5K).

We dont just listen to rap but were young if were gonna build a system we want it to play Too Short as well as led zeppelin and arent really gonna listen to norah jones.

thanks a Million and to quote my buddy, I just want it to be really frickin loud and clean. JBL stuff or horns arent an option It needs to have a very easy to listen to tweeter ideally silk dome style just nice and smooth.

I was going to suggest the easiest way to get 'frickin loud and clean' is using pro audio gear. One pair of speakers I can recommend for room-thumping sound is the JBL 4343 (despite what you said about JBL). They go very loud while remaining clean (in my experience). That said, the worst I have ever personally subjected them to is really loud Eminem. I have no idea what a fair price is, have zero connection to the seller of the pair currently listed, would not have thought they were 'extremely rare' in any case, but I have listened to them many times and respect their ability to be large studio monitors and play 'frickin loud and clean'. I will be interested to see what others recommend.
