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!

Rockpanther , I understand your frustration. I been looking for the exact sound you prefer. It is very hard to find.

Were the Vienna Acoustics you listened the new Symphony Edition? The SE versions are supposed to be more quicker and extended than the regular grand series. I have not heard them yet myself though. Plan on auditioning them soon , so I will give you feed back on them when I do.

Just make sure you listen first before you buy anything . Also , listen more than one time because a lot of speakers and associated equipment can sound great at first , but after a few listening sessions become fatiguing.
