Tin Pan Alley and Thanks to You- which speakers play the tap on the snares the best?


Looking for speakers that bring out the tap on the snares the best. Thanks!

Despite my Hi-Fi journey beginning in the mid sixties my speaker budget kept me relegated to mid-fi speakers until my last purchase. 

Lets call what your looking for is midrange slam. My first speakers were actually our PA  speakers, Altec A7's Voice of the Theater, oddly the least expensive.

We often single mic taped our gigs and played back through a single A7. No other speaker in my experience ever came close to those A7's or similar compression horn monitors in studios for raw recorded playback dynamics.

@ditusa JBL suggestion, I'm guessing, would provide that level of slam. 

On a budget JBL, Mackie and Behringer all make powered PA series that may float your boat.  

Some great suggestions, esp ATC

I still can't believe how good Revel sounds ... across the board, balanced.

Horns and Open Baffles, maybe some E-stat pannels. removing the box is ear opening. 

Thanks! No budget restrictions for now, just thinking 'out of the box'. How do we feel about Wilson Alexia or others though
