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!

I wouldn't rule out Paradigm Reference studio 100v3's. I have a friend pushing them with an Anthem I225 Integrated amp pushing 225w into 8 ohms/310w into 4. If you set them up properly, cable your system right and have a good source, they can hold their own and then some. Test drive "Chewbacca" from Liquid Tension Experiment 2 with Tony Levin on bass and get back to me.
