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!

Years ago, at SpeakerCraft/Marcof we built a line of speakers that we called Rock Boxes...
They were very accurate above 100hz, any audiophile would appreciate them... the woofers were sealed and crossed at 100hz and down,  we kept that perfect type qtc of .707, but the woofer was about 2db hotter than the top end.
It really was very satisfying on rock... I don't know if anything is out like that now, but that is what I'd recommend for an "All Rock" kind of listener.
