I'm searching for a pair of speakers for my brother. He only listens to Rock...all types. From Zeppelin to Nickleback. PRAT, Dynamics, and Loudness are really important. They must be efficient and under $1200 on the used market. Any ideas? Thanks
Klipsch Cornwalls, Chorus, or Forte models should work nicely if he has a large enough room. If not, maybe a pair of Klipsch Hereseys with a decent subwoofer would rock in a smaller room.
I would suggest the original Klipsch Forte'. I enjoy all kinds of music on them but they can rock with the best of them. Care in choosing ancillary equipment will bring out their best. If not careful they can be too bright and forward.
Look for the Klipsch Epic series, either the CF3's or the CF4. Also look for a pair of Klipsch legend KLF20 or 30's. They are all around 100dB. These all have horns, will meet your budget and they will rock.
Jbl 4430 15"2 way with Biradal "butt cheek"compression driver horns. 93 db effecient with virtually no limit on power input. Ive Biamped these and fed the woofers 1200 watts without a whimper. VERY Stable imaging and sledgehammer quailty bass to 30hz and below. These will be tough to find as they are excellent I found a pair for 410.00 with missing grills. (they retail for 4K)
