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

Hey folks, Do ya know that Miles Davis was rappin' too?
I have a few rap albums also and I do believe that midrange reproduction in rap is realy more important than bass for the critical listening. There is a rap where you can distinguish words and realise that there is a piece of poetry down there!
I listen to lots of prog. rock and industrial music. It's not rap and it's not pop but I bet some people wouldn't get the high end rig for such music tastes. But still I've got a pretty good analogue...
