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

Wolf_ garcia, I got a good laugh out of what you said, I get it, I do not believe Pehare did, any way, I live in a cave in the woods and my relative's were knight's of the round table, he, ha,he.

that's sir Ralph of Atmasphere, I do get carried away talking like that at time's, like I will say, what say you sir Wolf_ Garcia of Audiogon?, ha,he,ha.

ADS 810's. Or 910's. Or 710's.

With those criteria...mellow treble/punch bass... You might be better off going the stand mount and sub configuration...budget option would be Pioneer speakers that are all the rage..and a musical sub such as HSU...higher price point...British monitor with REL sub

OHM Walsh 5X models use a single 12" driver to better effect for producing most of the music much better than any other 2 or 3 way design with a 12" driver that I have ever heard.

That includes 80s hard rock along with all the rest.

In fact, I can't think of any 2 way designs with a 12" driver? Some pro gear I suppose. Most have to go three way to do things well. That opens up an additional can of worms. I've never been a fan of 3 way designs in general though I know there are many good sounding ones out there.

Ideally I would want a large single driver to do it all but practically the options there are limited to other forms of very hard to find Walsh speakers that over the years have typically also proven to be quite fragile.
