Do they make Speakers For Rap/Rock

Many high-end speakers will work at loud volumes for this type of music. You should probably look for ones that are full-range, that is, have the ability to put out a lot of bass. This generally means big and / or multiple woofers. Mini-mopnitors won't do it.

Acoustic music is used for evaluating loudspeakers because you can hear an acoustic concert live, and know what it should sound like. Music that is electronically amplified is usualy played through PA systems that aren't as good as most home systems (although much more powerful), so aren't really useful as a reference.

Many of us (myself included) listen to a variety of music that includes both acoustic and electronic. I would caution against playing too loudly too often, because hearing damage is a real threat, and all the best equipment in the world would be a waste if you're hearing goes too far bad.

Can you give us an example of audiophile quality rap recording? Sorry.

I am not sure which speaker line would be good for rap because I don't listen to any. For rock you might look at the Paradigm Studio 100's. They will play plenty loud with the right amplifier. Just be careful to match them with the right equipment. They can be fairly harsh if not matched properly.

Get any pair of good speakers with good power handling that can fill up your room. Most audiophile grade speakers will be able to play until your ears are torn off. Then add the best subwoofer you can afford. Great bass performance will really help you enjoy Rap/Rock music. I personally use a Velodyne DD-15, and it's just fantastic for that type of music.

Meyer Sound, ATC or Blue Sky make much more compact monitors than JBL that will easily play into the range you are looking for with the help of a subwoofer.

ATC SCM20 Actives with sub, will fill a 30x30 room pretty well, if you can afford SCM-50,100,150 etc. then the results are obviously better

or

Meyer HD-1 or UPM-1&2's with sub, UPM are PA speakers so if this is the priority then these might be the best choice.

a cheaper alternative but none the less just as usefull would be the Blue Sky Big Blue System, a little more economical but still better than any audiophile speaker in their price class. I think the Big blue Sat 12 Monitors are really inexpensive like $2500 each

Thes systems will take up little space play to the levels you want....survive the party then beat just about every audiophile speaker on the market in their price range.

As time passes "audiophile" speakers are losing ground as the audiophile standard slips and is hardly even competitive with the cutting edge studio systems.

Commercial speakers (JBL, EV, Klipsch). Most of these will have circuit breakers to avoid damage, they put out loads of bass and are fairly efficient (110db with 100 watts).

Keep in mind that a nice crest or qsc amp would help tremendously. Even though a nice Onkyo receiver may be rated at 110db/THX, it won't keep up that pace with nearly the ease of a nice QSC amp.
