Do they make Speakers For Rap/Rock

If you're looking for a temp system that you can set up just for the party, how about something like a powered Mackie spkr?

If something more like a standard type system, I like the sound of EAW spkrs and Emilar horns. For power you can use a stack of QSC amps & to avoid somebody cranking the system to destruction, set some limiters for max SPL's. This is a "party system" and nobody will be doing any critical listening with this stuff.

Lot's of good sources for this type of gear other than on-line. You might check the local music stores & bulletin boards there, as bands are always selling gear & local ads in trading post & local paper.

As Albert notes, 115 db spl is VERY loud: placing spkrs @ the "dance" area, you'll still have to shout rather than talk to people at the other end of your space (the full bar) UNLESS you hide behind a wall -- or other serious obstruction. As an example, ~120db spl is a jet taking off at yr back yard, so to speak.
ALSO, the "better" the spkr the more you (and yr guests) will be able to stand that spl and enjoy...

SO: you still need spkrs capable of ~120db spl continuous.

This long introduction serves only to confirm and ratify the easy choices mentioned above:

a) professional speakers rather than "audiophile". Most of the latter will disintegrate @ 120db spl continuous.

b) don't go far, check out JBL, Meyer Sounds, ATC active (200 come to mind). The ATC can't quite reach 120db but come close enough.

c) Meyer & ATC are expensive: ATC will do large orchestral (if there's interest) better than the Meyer. Well set up Meyers could very well play you Black-eyed peas better than the Black-eyed peas themselves expected...:)

d) As Albert implies, JBL are good: VERY experienced in driver, spkr design and production. Don't let their commercial aspect fool you into thinking they produce crap.

e) another brand you may wish to consider is Klipsh (the Klipshorn). It can flirt with 120db -- BUT they need TWO room corners for placement and they are passive. This is a possible "audiophile" speaker choice -- but again, nowhere near the spl capability of the others (for example, the quietest of the bunch, the ATC, are rated @~118db spl CONTINUOUS).

Yes, they sell them at Best Buy.

Many high-end speakers will work at loud volumes for this type of music. You should probably look for ones that are full-range, that is, have the ability to put out a lot of bass. This generally means big and / or multiple woofers. Mini-mopnitors won't do it.

Acoustic music is used for evaluating loudspeakers because you can hear an acoustic concert live, and know what it should sound like. Music that is electronically amplified is usualy played through PA systems that aren't as good as most home systems (although much more powerful), so aren't really useful as a reference.

Many of us (myself included) listen to a variety of music that includes both acoustic and electronic. I would caution against playing too loudly too often, because hearing damage is a real threat, and all the best equipment in the world would be a waste if you're hearing goes too far bad.

Can you give us an example of audiophile quality rap recording? Sorry.

I am not sure which speaker line would be good for rap because I don't listen to any. For rock you might look at the Paradigm Studio 100's. They will play plenty loud with the right amplifier. Just be careful to match them with the right equipment. They can be fairly harsh if not matched properly.
