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

You guys are pathetic snobs! (most, anyway). I'm a musician (percussion,piano), who's also a recording engineer, dj, and an audiophile. this is my first post here. I can't believe the bigotry and hypocrisy I've heard in the first 20 or so posts. I listen from everything from Mozart to Copeland to Dylan to Junior Brown to the Wu-Tang, A tribe called Quest, to Brubeck, to Marsalis, back to Tchikowsky... so whatever. My point is, why be a dick to the guy when he's asking for equipment advice? Most complaints I hear about audiophiles is that they're snobs.... Get Cerwin Vegas indeed. Why can't you all be open minded about this and perhaps learn something? Hip hop is the latest line in black music, which has brought us jazz, soul, R&B, and rock, to name a few genres... Miles Davis chose to do his last album in hip hop, and it's a masterpiece, like everything else he's done. (no offense to those who took him seriously!!!
