Speakers for Rock - up to 1kusd

True in theory Ralph, but in practice for a speaker to, say, be appropriate for Rock music I would say it has to be able to play LOT louder than it does to be able to play solo harpsichord music. I have Quad 57's for Baroque, but they are unsuitable for AC/DC at realistic SPL. Of course a speaker SHOULD be able to play all musics, just as it SHOULD be 100% transparent and uncolored. But none of them are, so one must choose his colorations. Different speakers have different strengths and weaknesses that make them better and worse at playing some musics than others.

I agree bdp24. 
Gustavos, did you contact Zu directly? I am sure they must deal with international shipping on a regular basis. 
As far as an amp goes, much would be predacated on your choice of speaker. For example, the Zu's are highly efficient and are known to be sufficiently powered by a 30 wpc tube amp. 

Hello,
Yes, I have contacted Zu but shipping goes up the roof unfortunately....

Gennerally as stated above when you think primarily rock . You think volume punch bass and clean  ... Not pinpoint accuracy.. To achieve all that and the pinpoint ya gotta spend some bucks .. It to me has little to do with driver size my az adagio rip , but there $4500 and im running big clean power .. Its a balance to me in this range .If 1k is the budget im  sticking as i said . Used proacs klipsh .. Back in the 80s my buddy had cerwin  vegas but his altecs would peal your face off with his crown gear .. Again room size is a biggy ..imo .. A sweet set of used proacs and a used sunfire after awhile will sound good on all music high efficiency and will get down and rock out with 75-100 a side .. Just my two cents .. I would plan on a decent sub for your setup and it would be a sunfire imo

There is a set if n 805 b&w and a set of sonus faber 1.5 for sale here now with a sub they wont break windows but are solid  spkr imo you have to be careful with some of the older proacs check for drying out of foam on drivers there are many used spkrs in that range .. Build your system around those spkrs
