I would go for a used pair of Proac Response 3.8s. You might not think, but their 6.5 inch lower bass driver makes them ideal partners for good rock. You should find a decent pair around for about 3000-4000 used. I have them and their great with a good powerful amp an good source.
Speakers For Rock
I am looking for speakers for rock/pop. My budget is 4000.00. I'm looking for a speaker that is good with rock, does well at the details instead of hints at them, yet at the same time is not fatiguing. The speakers I have in my main system are very good at a lot of things. However, they are not my cup of tea with the kind of music I like. They okay with poor recordings (most rock/pop). I want something that will sound killer with the poor recrodings. From reading the forums, it seems like the Von Schweikert VR 4 jrs may foot the bill. Thoughts? Thanks
