Speakers for 80s rock?


Looking to build an inexpensive, maybe vintage, system for a friend who is immersed in 80s rock.

What speakers might you all recommend?

Get you an OHM I made in the 80's. That speaker is made for rock music. Get you a used one in decent shape. Then upgrade the drivers from OHM. I upgraded mine and they sound like a whole new speaker. Then I had the upgrade bug and purchased a WELL reviewed speaker FOR rock music. After switching them back and forth over several months. I sold the new pair I got and have never looked back. Bear in mind I bought a $2500 speaker without listening to it. I have heard speakers in the $5000 plus catagory and they are better. I have heard many speakers in the 2-3k range in the last ten years but none sounds as good as my OHMs. They're hear to stay. One other thing. You need a very powerful amp to take control and drive these speakers. These OHM Is are like a race car. They drive best when driven hard.
