I listen to rock, pop, and electronica alot on my system. It only has 2 watts from a SET 45 amp, and single driver speakers. Maybe it might not be loud enough for some people, but it is plenty loud enough for me, and most of my friends who hear it say it is plenty loud enough too. Alot of dynamic impact. Not alot of deep bass or slam, but rock and pop don't generally have much deep bass under 40Hz. Electronica can have some deep bass synthesizer notes that are below my speaker's capabilities. This is not real common, nor does it seem to bother my listening enjoyment. If you place a huge amount of importance on bass below 40Hz, perhaps that type of system is not for you.
