What are the best speakers for 80's hard rock?

Amp frequency requirements for super tweeters?
There's so many variables at play in a situation like this, that you really can't get a solid recommendation without a lot of effort. If this is something that you feel you need because you are trying to correct a problem in your system, they by a...

Infinity Primus P363 TAS review
"01-12-15: WildoatsI posted because TAS is allegedly a serious high end mag. As I said, the review didn't refer to the speakers being good for the price but being contenders for being good regardless of price."They always say stuff like that. How ... 
What speakers for 10k?
"usually don't go with bookshelf speakers but whenever I look at other speakers I go back to the breeze, just something about the look and design, the only way I heard them was on a youtube video, and they sounded good over my cheap lap top."Its d... 
NAD T 775 down sampling is off
Look for a feature called volume normalize, or something similar. Turn it on and see if that helps. Also, look at your speaker cables very carefully. Make sure you don't have any of them crossed. Red to red, black to black, + to +, - to -. 
hi, i trying to to get my first system together
Put the reviews away, and go out and listen to as much equipment as you can. At some point, you'll figure out what you like. Then buy it. If you buy based on reviews and opinions, you'll probably have better luck in a casino. 
Low heat alternative to FIRSTWATT J2 ?
Since you are so happy with it, I would try to make the J2 work somehow. Its not an easy amp to beat. But if you must, see is you can demo an Ayre V5. It does sound different from your Pass, but has a lot of the qualities you are looking for. Ther... 
Phono Preamp?
"01-11-15: PhasecorrectDitto...5k intergrated should have an excellent phono preamp...if anything the Rega 1 is probably the weak link."Just in case I wasn't clear in my first post, that's the point I was trying to make. Don't limit an upgrade to ... 
What speakers for 10k?
"01-11-15: JugheadI'm thinking the same thing, buy some less expensive speakers and use the rest of the money for other parts of my system."I don't know if you'll get the results you want doing it that way. If you go after a pair of 5k speakers, 3... 
Praise for excellent service from Oppodigital
"01-11-15: TonykayContrast the above story with my experience with McIntosh. I purchased a demo MVP-871 (CD/DVD) from Magnolia A/V. McIntosh refused to warranty it. It failed almost immediately but Magnolia allowed me to trade in my P.O.S MVP-871 ... 
Krell Restoration
Hopefully, Audiolabrynth will see this post. He knows a lot about this very topic. I'm pretty sure he used Krell, but maybe not since Dan left the company. 
B&W 802 Bass Removal
Just curious, but what driver is bad? There was somewhat of a mystery concerning the right lower woofer's going bad on the 802's. Mine went bad. So did the ones my two friends had. The 2 pairs that were in the store as demo's were bad. We couldn't... 
Infinity Primus P363 TAS review
I was just kidding. Stereo Review had a reputation for never giving bad reviews. They used to argue that all amps sound the same, preamps, cd players etc.. You just bought on features, not sound quality.
