Speakers that accurately reproduce a drumset

What speakers accurately reproduce a drumset including kickdrum, toms, snares and cymbals? The speakers need to be fast enough to reproduce the attack transients and move enough air to provide visceral impact. IMHO very few speakers do both.

Perhaps the more appropriate question is: What amp accurately reproduces a drum set?

Find the answer to that question, then your question becomes much easier to answer.

Ptmconsulting makes a good point as well. The real key is dynamics which comes from having the right amplifier in conjunction with a dedicated (preferably 20 amp) AC line for the amplifier.

Dynamic passages force an amp to draw much current from the AC. Even a lowly current draw like a 36 watt preamp sharing the same AC line with high-powered amplifer is enough to rob the amp of the AC juice required for such passages and thus render dynamics rather flat and lifeless.
