Best speaker for rock music

What is a great, reasonably priced speaker/studio monitor that will really excel on rock/dance/techno? I would imagine this same type of system would also sound great for home theater. I have a small to medium size room, 15' x 13' with cathedral ceilings. I already have a nice audiophile rig but it has the familiar problems with most compressed rock and techno recordings. Thanks, Mike

I second the opinion of Cornfedboy. The Avalon's are the best I have heard with all types of music, and rock is no exception. They do it all, soundstage, detail, accurate, powerful bass, realism, and a touch of magic. All the better if you have good gear.

I owned a pair of Paradigm Ref Studio 60's for a couple of years. They were great for rock. Especially with a large, good quality solid state amp. They're worth checking out. Good luck.

NHT 2.5i is another option.

Rmml: Doesn't Cory Greenburg love the bigger NHT? The 3.3?

Nestorovics - Check them out at this site: http://www.savantaudio.com/nest5asr.html I don't have a pair yet, but I'm saving. Best rock speaker I've heard at any price. The sound defies thier looks. Made in Seattle, I don't know how popular they are in the east yet. Has anyone else heard them?
