tho i'm almost certainly not one of the younger posters on this thread, i do like to listen to real rock & roll, as well as other types of music. my older son is also an audiophile with tastes similar to yours (he and his wife are both in the radio/entertainment industry); he frequently listens to my system to test how well various discs/lp's are recorded. my speakers will play real loud without breakup or listener fatigue. i recommend them highly for any type of music, including (but certainly not limited to) metal, grunge, garage, industrial, club, etc. the are avalon eidolons. the avalon opus might also work for you at somewhat lower price. i've had a number of monitor/sub systems in the past. none compares to the full-range avalon models mentioned. BTW, the eidolons also are very refined and will play classical, jazz, etc. better, IMO, than any of the other speakers thus far described. you've got some good electronics and cables that will blend well with the eidolons or opus'. you owe it to yourself to give em a try. rock on.
Rock and Roll Speakers
I have been down the audio hi fi road for about 5 years now. Spent more money than my wife will ever know about( if i want to live ) have a large listening room 19x24x9. I like loud rock and roll, I have great tastes in music from braums, to miles davis, sonny rollins, herbie handcock to the new alternative bands. I like to go to clubs and hear live music. According to bound for sound I like to listen to amplified music that is reproduced. They said to buy some mini monitors and a good sub. I have spent $$$$ and bought the ML quest, gallo ref 1's, platinum audio ref 2's Ml monolith 2's and even some exotic german physiks boarderland's with the DDD. All have their great strengths but I really dont love any of them. Love the sound and feel of the esl, gallos were ok, the German Physiks are the finest of all, almost angelic, but I miss the sock it in your gut feeling. In the past I played in some college bands and when I grow up I would like to be a studio engineer, I know what sound I like but havent found it yet. I live in a very rural area and cant audition alot of equipment. For electronics I have the Burmester 956 250w amp, Meridian 541 processor, 518, and 506.20cd and nbs cables. What I want is it to pass the ac/dc test. Dont call it crude music but if i have spent 35-45k on equipment I want it to do what I want it to do. I like quality and dont mind paying for it. I have listened to the Revel Studios, Legacy Focus, liked both but what about long term (years) enjoyment. Any thoughts about the Von S 7's or the Dunluvy 5 or 6's. I want a large sound and large volume but to be able to enjoy the old smokey 2am jazz after a hard day.
