Rap music on high-end speakers


Hello,

I have audiophile taste in gear, but not in music. I listen to rap music, and occansionaly R&B. Is there anyone out there like me? What do you listen for when buying gear? I was wondering what are the benefits in getting better gear? I want to upgrade the speakers to either proac response 3.8 or wilson cubs. Here is my system:

Levinson No.23
aranov ls-9000
Platinum audio reference 2
Paradigm servo 15
kimber speaker wire
esoteric component wires
amc cdm7

Tru, speakers are the hardest part of the audio chain to recommend. You are probably younger than most of those who have responded. I do not believe anyone should be criticized for their tastes in music. I don't like classical because it bores me to tears. I would never think of slamming someone because they like classical. I think Onhwy61 gave you very good advise. Also,Get out and hear as many speakers that you can. People have been telling me for years that Dylan can't sing. Tom Waits can't sing. Well, all I can say is they are music to these ears. Good hunting. Hang in there. Don't worry about the snobs. You are the only one you have to please.
