Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno

Do you highpass your subs? If not I would start there. 
 

good speakers are good speaker but stand mounts (passive) just don’t have the dynamic output need in the lower bass and this Is where the high pass comes in. 
 

You need dynamic speakers imo and that often goes with high efficiency. Stand mounts are not high efficiency… maybe try to demo the JBl 4349. Music direct has a 60 day trial period on them.  
 

On a personal note I have liked my revel 228be with subs on heavy bass/dynamic music. The 128be or 226be might be worth a try. Again 60 day trials at both music direct and crutchfield with no question asked returns. The revel have a bit more upper mid energy where the Sonus Fabers are a touch down (1-3khz) and seem to have a bit more bass impact but less bass volume, if that makes sense. Flatter but harder hitting, less warm and round. Very subtle as all these are pretty flat.

What about the speakers you demoed is not doing it for you in those genres? Might help with giving recommendations. Hip hop and techno are usually compressed and not super dynamic but have lots of mid bass so most standmounts aren’t up to it unless paired with subs. You have subs so like another poster I wonder if you are high passing your mains or running them full range. For rock, it can get dynamic depending upon the era it was recorded in. So, you’d want even more headroom from your mains. I’d be looking for a larger three way standmount if I were you. Maybe Kef Ref 1s or perhaps Tekton Impact Monitors. There are others I am sure just can’t think of them off the top of my head. 

@ghdprentice thank you for sharing your journey. Thats reassuring to hear. I will check out where you ended up. That's great your so happy with it. :) 

@canibefrank I have a pair of Acoustic Energy Ae1 actives in my secondary system. I love them. Actives speakers... I believe are the future. Well designed ones sound incredible. Looking for passive for my main set up though. I have 2 much invested in componets and love my power amplifier 2 much to let it go. :)
