Rap music on high-end speakers

Why do some fools complain about the type of music that folks choose to listen to.I have a high end set up and I listen to salsa,latin jazz,70Sr&b,even some hip-hop and rap.Sure you would need large woofers,but not Cerwin Vega..Sound like crap.I have B&Ws 802 series 3 and they can handle it.All because folks buy high end does it necessarly mean that we listen to only classical or jazz,I dont think so.To those boneheads who chosse to insult the person who posted this thread,youre nothing but a bunch of closed minded nuts.To those who defended the author of this thread,right on.everybodys entitled to listen to what they choose to and if they spend the loot who is one to dictate to another whta they should or not listen to.I have a D.L.G. CD that have heavy bass lines and it's latin rap,and it sounds great in the setup i have.

If your Levinson amp has over or 100 WPC,I would suggest the B&Ws 801 series 3,a bit easier to drive than the series 2.Has very good and tight bass and nice silky mids and highs,if you fell that the amp cant drive these speakers i would definitly suggest the B&W 802 series 3.Why I have a pair and they do the job very well,I was using Conrad Johnson MF-200 and Premier 3 pre,but got an offer on the preamp that I couldnt refuse.You might want to try out the MARTIN LOGAN speakers,I had the SEQUELS and they sounded great with rap and R&B,soul music.The Martin Logans can handle it too.Also you can check out the B&W NATILUS speakers too.More looot but definitly worth a listen.Try listening to those speakers and decide.Its nice to know that you like tubes in the pre and S/S power,it's a nice combination.Good luck on your search.

Simply because KEVZIEK got off the track of the thread.TRU was asking for suggestions for his set up not about his taste in music.And I'm a 43 Y.O. Puerto Rican male too.KEVZIEKS opinion is like everyone elses.It's like rear ends everybody has one of those too.So who really had the lack of tolerance.

It reminds me of a funny but typical situation I encountered several years ago.I was at a used hi-end audio store,and the owner used to come across some really exotic audio gear.Any way he also sold used CDs and i stumbled on to a LIAS LISa and the CULT GANG.I really wanted to hear this one cut titled Lost in Emotion,and the owner looked at me like i was nuts.I did remind him that I was a customer who had bought a pre amp from him,anyway he put the cut on i listen to it and it was a full tube setup,AUDIO RESEARCH,sounded real tight,he was going nuts but then he cut it off when the cut was done and put on classical and said this is what high end is for.I then told him that he was an idiot,because not all audiofiles listen to only classical and to me it's boring.We had a exchange of words and I pretty much told him that I will never patronize his establishment again.Well eventually he went out of business because he was trying to get over on everybody and pretty much everybody got hip to his B.S.TRU I wish you well on your continued search and my stepson is a fan of your music.Even my wife likes your stuff too.I hope that you read my speaker choices for you too.Happy Holidays.Cheers

Boy oh boy I thought this was a done thread until I saw the thread by that closed minded fool KEVZIEK.Music is my choice not yours,anyway if you dont like the rap,wear ear plugs because I know if you say something you might get your butt kicked.It doesnt matter what one chooses to listen on their high end system,but JEEZUS ....TRU is only asking for help not criticism of the type of music he listens too.I sense a lot of PLAYER hATERS because the guy listens to RAP on high end.HIGH END aUDIO is not for CLASSICAL and JAZZ only.I listen to DISCO,FUNK,MAMBO known as SALSA,LATIN JAZZ and even RAP on my system and CeRWIN vEGAs will not do the trick.I remember listening to the FANIA label in the 70s and the sound quality was average not great sounding,as RMM took over the sound quality got much better...WHY??? MONEY,LOOT SCRATCH GREENBACKS BENJAMINS ETC.is the answer.So come on give the brother a break.
