Speakers for 80s rock?

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?

I've sen stratus silver's for $6-700.
OK, if that's too much, the old classics - JBL L100's will completely fill the bill - excellent all around speaker with killer bass.

Guaranteed with most of the stuff no subs, if you have a Thin problem, especially with Hair bands make sure you get a receiver/Intergrated with tone controls, or a seperate Equalizer and fix how bad most of those recordings are.. I listen to primarily Hard rock of the more modern sense and the CD's are pretty good from about 99' on up, but once in a while are still Dry and thinner, so gotta equalize something, trust me you will be far happier having the control of frequency bands with any speaker as you are looking to go resonably cheap, especially in the type of thing you are looking to pull off.
