Rap music on high-end speakers


Hello,

I have audiophile taste in gear, but not in music. I listen to rap music, and occansionaly R&B. Is there anyone out there like me? What do you listen for when buying gear? I was wondering what are the benefits in getting better gear? I want to upgrade the speakers to either proac response 3.8 or wilson cubs. Here is my system:

Levinson No.23
aranov ls-9000
Platinum audio reference 2
Paradigm servo 15
kimber speaker wire
esoteric component wires
amc cdm7

I still think the best thing you can do to get the most out of rap, is go out on the stoop, hook up to car 12 volt batteries to 2 corrugated steel garbage cans and sit real close! doesn't get any better than that for rap.

Didn't I hear a while ago that the best rapper on the east coast killed the best rapper on the west coast or vice versa?
Certainly there must be a lot of people on this thread who, upon reading their post in retrospect, think to themselves, "Geez, I sound more like my parents every day!"
No Winoguy17 " ALT COUNTRY MUSIC" is an OXYMORON. And best rapper in east coast killing best rapper in west coast does not make it BAD music.Actaullay best music sprouts from Pain- be it killing, drugs, broken hearts....(did i just say that?)
But let us not distract people and stick to the subject.
