What are the best speakers for 80's hard rock?


Hello folks!
I want suggestions for best speakers and amp for 80's hard rock music. Many bad recordings, so many high end speakers (and amps) sounds very harsh and hard, with little bass. It's more important to me that my stereo can play bad recordings in a good way, than play good recordings in a fantastic way.

I want very laidback and soft treble, but I want a bass that goes deep and alo is very punchy.

I know many people say that I should here on vintage speakers. But I want new speakers. Any price range!

Thanks for suggestions!

Altec lansing crushed my vega's back in the 80 s with the ole crown 300.. the memories or loss of hearing and memories 😳

the VA speakers can be mated w/ a REL subwoofer. This should take care of any Bass issues. Keep me posted on your buying decisions.


Happy Listening!

get the best sub you can afford and some small bookshelfs with at least a 6 in woofer. easier to tune the bass to your liking and the satellites will be easier to select . so many small 2 ways that wont be too critical
For Vintage speakers, i'm going to vote for the Infinity IRS Gamma. You can't beat physics; with 4 x 12" Watkins dual voice coil woofers, the Gamma's get down to 15Hz & pound!
