Audiophile speakers that rock well

I think you would be amazed by the Fritz Carbon 7. I replaced a pair of Paradigm Reference Studio 100 v.4's with a pair. Huge bang for the buck from a small boutique manufacturer. They do everything you would ever want from an audiophile speaker, soundstage, imaging, tonality and vocals and will rock beyond imagination when asked to. They go low for a small speaker with usable bass down into the 30's. They fit your budget, too. Give Fritz a ring and arrange an in-home trial. You will be glad you did.

Glrtrgi I wonder if another approach would work for you. How about looking at fitting out a 4.1 system and getting the whole room immersion sort of effect going? Decent monitor in each corner with a good sub?

just a thought

I should have mentioned that the reason the Europa is so revealing of recording flaws, without causing them to be unbearable to listen to, is because it has so little temporal distortion. It's not because it's treble is rolled off, although admittedly it's tonal balance is a tad dark.

And yet another Husker Du fan here too, LOL.
