Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K


I have nice speakers for acoustics, jazz, vocals, etc. but are not great for rock and roll.  Would welcome any recommendations for speakers that do a great job with classic rock and roll.  I will add some components in my system that might influence thinking:

New Audio Frontiers Tube Preamp, New Audio Frontiers 845 Tube Power Amp, Lampizator Atlantic DAC, Innuos Zenith Streamer, Tchernov cables.

@stereo5 Have you ever compared your Triton Reference’s to Tannoy Turnberry’s, Klipsch, or PS Audio’s speakers?  I also listen to mostly rock and have the Turnberry’s which are great, but I’ve always wondered how those Triton’s sound?

If I only listened to a few audiophile discs, (I don't own records) there would be no way for me to know how all genres of music sound on a given speaker. I have also been exposed to plenty of live music in my life, and my Father was a violinist.

I believe that the difference between us is that I know that duplicating the realism of live music of any type is not fully possible on any system. The key to a good system I think is one that is able to reproduce a well balanced illusion, scaled to the room in which it is being played.

I think classical and rock can show how limited in dynamics at lot of speakers are as they both demand big swings in instant volume. 

Another vote for the Goldenear Triton reference.  Extended highs, natural mid, and extended bass response.  Certainly  not in the ultra high end, but sure does work for me.  Aerosmith to Zep, all sounds great.

They have something in every price point and dicker with your dealer, you can get a pair of 4367’s that will shake your windows.

Rock On!
