What speaker under $10k used can rock hard but also bring out the best in jazz voice? I love the sound of planars for voice, but I sometimes I really want to shake the walls and bring out the best in a power chord. Opinions?
Used Mirage Msi series are great. They have a sound field like planer speakers but have dynamics and bass. I use these with 100W ARC VT100 and Metalica never sounded better!
Personally, I own the Dyn's and they are awesome speakers, but, IMO, they DON"T do rock very well. And they are super critical so most inferior hard rock/metal recordings sound like schitt.
Sophia 2 are pretty cheap used. They have good vocals and strong bass. The drivers lack ultimate integration and resolution. But at their current used prices they are a very good deal. The big dynamics will be good for rock music.
