Killer Floor Standing Speakers under $4000 for Rock?

Actually, it can affect the sound of period-music, via, cross-over networks.
It all begins w/ the 1st order cross-over. If one likes this "sound" then seek out Vandersteen or Thiel (my reference). Progress w/ 2nd order up to 4th Order for best effect.

Happy Listening!

I'm on my 2nd pair of Magnepans and I'm a rocker. First pair was a Christmas present from my wife, 1.4s. Got a pair of 1.7s last year and they are fantastic!!! Relaminated the 1.4s and put them in the living room for the wife. They kicked ass when paired with a velodyne uld12. 1.7s are in my music room driven with a Bryston 4b and believe me they ROCK. Well below $4K, extra money for electronics and tunes. 

chasing our tails to get THE sound for rock is somewhat crazy given the many studios, etc..
So yes we have some agreement.

I am with Jafant, I happen to prefer Vandersteens driven by a tube front end and a solid state amp.

I hope the OP gets where he wants to go musically !!!!!

I have Legacy Signature IIs and they do sound good, but it seems like my Dynaudio Audience 82s kick more ass on drum shots and the like.  I'm surprised nobody has suggested a nice used set of Dynaudio.
