What are the best speakers for 80's hard rock?


Hello folks!
I want suggestions for best speakers and amp for 80's hard rock music. Many bad recordings, so many high end speakers (and amps) sounds very harsh and hard, with little bass. It's more important to me that my stereo can play bad recordings in a good way, than play good recordings in a fantastic way.

I want very laidback and soft treble, but I want a bass that goes deep and alo is very punchy.

I know many people say that I should here on vintage speakers. But I want new speakers. Any price range!

Thanks for suggestions!

Mapman, I had a pair of pro use keyboard stage use speaker's called the Cerwin Vega V-15E, one of the best speaker's for sound quality for stage, most of the mid's came out the 15" woffer, three way horn loaded speaker's that only did 40HZ to 16KHZ, but man, they were 103 db sensativity, mated with Tara lab's and a Krell FPB-200 amp was music nirvana, talking about great defined bass, these thing's rocked the house down, I modded them too, very awsome back in the day of the 90's, I will have fond memories of that set-up the rest of my life!, The whole rig was stolen by second devorced wife when I was out of town, yes, this had alot to do with me not being with her anymore, needless to say!, I would have loved to keep that system, even today with the one I have now, two is more fun than one, you think?
Hi Wolf_Garcia, I got a good laugh out of your post, the cerwin vega V-15E speaker's were way more transparent than any home use cerwin vega speaker's, I did not like the home use speaker's at all, I was still young enough after the divorce, that absolutly, I did many drunk dancing with awsome looking fefe's, why not, had my own new place all to my self, with no one to answer too back in the 90's.
Wolf_ garcia, I got a good laugh out of what you said, I get it, I do not believe Pehare did, any way, I live in a cave in the woods and my relative's were knight's of the round table, he, ha,he.
that's sir Ralph of Atmasphere, I do get carried away talking like that at time's, like I will say, what say you sir Wolf_ Garcia of Audiogon?, ha,he,ha.
