Speakers for 80s rock?

get a pair of klipsch cornwalls & a qsc pro amp & your friend will blow the house down.

cornwalls are around $600 used & a qsc 450 wpc amp is $450,throw in a mcintosh c-26 preamp for $300 & a $99 cdp & i'll bet the cops come in less than 15 minutes.

PSB Stratis are not what i would call "inexpensive", not for me anyways.

Cerwin Vega, Klipsch (if ya like horns) or a great old AR-9 accoustic Research from Teledyne, those will rock if ya got power!

The original Advent or Large Advents. Both classics.

Something fat in the bass. Many 80s discs seem to be anemic in the bass - I'm thinking of Blondie, Cheap Trick, Poison in particular; I think htere are others, but I can't remember specifics. I heard they were engineered to sound their best on a particular type of speaker that was popular among college kids, but can't remember which it was - ,aybe Ohms?
