Good ROCK speakers


Im Running a set of DefTech 2004TLs for my main speaks.

One general concensus on this board is these are better used for HT than 2ch due to the bipolar design.

Well, im sure you all kno what you are talking about, and im looking to overhaul my front end to a prepro/amp system. HTY with integrated 2CH w seperate amp

There are alot of different people with different tastes, and i like to really be able to ROCK. Crank it up and jam out without distortion.

Im planning on moving my deftech 2004tls to the surrounds, and my bp6's to the rear, giving me space for new front speakers.

Whaats are some real good speakers to ROCK out with? Loud and proud, clear and full range.

Ive been thinking of possible vandersteens. Also considered ML, but im not too sure how much tthese are made to ROCK!!!!

suggestions?

Any metalheads out there with some advise?

You want really loud, bass powerful rock speakers..You also want speakers that won't distort when you play loud..You want full-range speakers..when you say these Legacy Focus comes to my mind..
the absolute best rock speaker made today is the jbl 4312 mkll....it comes in black or walnut veneer and is exclusively available in north america from hal cox who has permission from jbl to sell them....thy're even better than the ones i owned in the seventies..once you hear them you'll never want to listen to rock on any 'other' brand...you could hurt yourself playing air guitar with these babies and they are compatible with any tube or ss source....everything in life should be this easy and cool....hal's business phone is 415-388-5711....he was a buddy of james b. lansing himself ...
Tannoy saturn S10's. Boy can they rock. With the right equipment they sound powerful with no sense of strain or fatigue. Since they are not readily available only 50 North America dealers they are hard to find, but well worth the trouble. Saturn s8 are also very good.
It seems peculiar to me that everytime one of these threads gets started, and there have been many, everybody chimes in with suggestions for speakers I doubt any of you would have in your own two-channel systems. Why is that? Most of us love rock. If our high-end speakers are so freakin' great, why can't they deliver the goods on rock?

I think maybe because the speakers in most high end systems far surpass most rock recordings. maybe you just gotta get something cheap, heavy, and dirty.

I personally think rock sounds the greatest on full range dirty speakers. Nothing high class and foofoo!

I guess its kinda because hard rock was always a garage type thing. it was never exactly refined.

All high end speakers can play rock really well, a little too well, which makes to sound too.. sterile?.. if you will?
I think you just have to step down to the quality in order to get the speaker to preform good rock. well, heavy metal at least.
my DefTechs rock with all kinds of music but rock. there is just some filthy aspect that is left to be desired.

ROCK ON!
