speakers for r&b music

I just came across this post and YEARS late in responding , but I felt it might help someone going through the archives. I listen to a lot of 80's R&B. I have found that simple two way systems with minimal crossover networks work very well. I have used 6" loudspeakers consistently since the early 90's and am always pleased with what I hear. The floor standing models have more "punch." I have never felt the need to go to a driver larger than 8".

Look for 1.6 Maggies or bigger and add a powered sub. Everything is important to extracting the real magic, but you can incorporate upgrades over time yet stll enjoy one hell of a pair of R & B seakers.

My rig consists of 3.5Rs, biamped with a SVS powered sub.

Same as for rock&roll, except for Hammond B3.

I've liked big midrange domes and ribbons tweets/mids for sax but good bass makes the R in R&B.

go to the montana audio site and check out there speakers and then find somewhere to listen to them you will be truely amazed
