"I know hi fi speakers are not really meant for hip hop"
That's some wrong thinking there!
I would rec. splitting your budget between a sub and satellite, ie.
ATC SCM12's and Rel Strata, or a Velodyne F1200, Paradigm
Reference 1500?, you get the idea. Add a Behringer Feedback destroyer ($90) to Flatten out the room bumps and EQ the crossover point between the satellites and the sub. Done. Reference system on a budget... Add 100watt integrated and CD player
++++My Milkshake brings all the boys to the yard,
And their like "It's better than yours"
Damn right, It's better than yours,
I can teach you, but I have to charge +++++
Hip Hop has its challenges, but no job is difficult if you buy the right tools.
PS: that system will play jazz as well as any (refined?) audiophiles speaker.
