Do they make Speakers For Rap/Rock


It seems that from all the discussions and reveiws, I have read that 99% of the speakers that are reveiwed are done with Classical, opera, jazz or other like music. My question is; Do any of the high end speaker manufacturers make audiophile speakers that are designed for the Rap, Hip-hop, hard rock, loud volume listener???

For RAP: Probably those wedge-shaped back-seat or trunk car speaker enclosures with two of those fat-surround 12-inch woofers crossed over to some piezio-electric horns. Should provide plenty of one-note bass centered around 85-100 hz. and lots of spitty highs.
Or those cheap "D-J" speakers with a couple of stacked 12 or 15 inch woofers with a row of 4 or more piezio-electric horn tweeters on top. That's all you need, right?
If however you are talking ROCK, go with JBL L-100, L-150, L-200, L-300, L-112 etc. from the 70's. Buy them on ebay. Restore the walnut veneer, replace the connectors and internal wiring, recone the woofers. then put on some Deep Purple and let 'er rip.
Albertporter-Xiekitchen, Thanks for your response.
Aporter- I would say for extended periods (During Partys or get togethers maybe 12 of them a year, the 110-115 range would be max, Quality is Easy, the best speaker I can find prior to hitting a point of diminishing return and given the limited instruments in Most Hip hop, that should be fairly reasonable, however coupling that with a speaker that will perform at the same Dbs will undoubtedly raise the bar a bit.

Xiekitchen,
One note Bass & Spitty highs are not exactly what I had in mind when I said Audiophile speakers. The L Series JBL are difinately worth a try, considering the speakers I have gone through already clearly they will be the least expensive, which by the way I AM ALL FOR.
In case your wondering, Montana EPS, Von schweikert 4.0 & 4.5, POlk LSi 15.
Try some of the older VMPS models. They can sound very good and play loud and clean. Excellent bass and even the treble is very good.
110 to 115 DB is serious sound pressure levels. Lots of people think they know how loud that is, truth is most can't grasp the number.

In my opinion, you will have to go to commercial sound gear to achieve that level safely. By safely I don't mean for your ears :^). I mean for the equipment to operate year after year on your schedule.

The JBL 4894-90 will produce 100 DB with 1 watt in, 46 HZ to 18KH and will accept about 2400 watts peak before clipping. They are only about 105 pounds so easy to deal with (relatively) and will produce over 132 DB with no clipping and (relatively) low distortion.

There may be some high quality audiophile speakers capable of 132 DB but I don't think they would survive for long, playing what you intend feeding them. I don't know the current price for 4894-90 but it will be cheap compared to a lot of high end speakers, maybe cheap enough that you can score a pair of JBL's used and get some audiophile tower speakers for more relaxed listening.
Albert, clearly you have listened to your fair share of Music. We have a large room, we call the bar that has a 30x30 dance floor and off that is the pool table and of course the full bar, its kind of a remake of the first floor of studio 54 circa 1980. The entire room was built with acoustics in mind ( Except the dance floor, my wifes idea)and have had a couple good acts play in it prior to touring. My point is I do know how loud 110-115 is and that is precisely why I am in search of the least offensive speaker I can find. I will admit that I do not keep the DB's that loud for extended periods except for those times that warrant such raucous behavior, but I thought by padding the DB's a bit it would result in responses with the handful of top speakers that could reproduce music at these insane levels.
Is it idiotic to assume that if a speaker reproduces sound well at high levels it will also do the same at more moderate listening DB's or am I really looking for two separate beasts here?
