Speakers that do rock justice ...

the psb you have in mind is an excellent choice. yep, there are always others, but you have picked a dandy.

I just heard a pair of D.A.S. this weekend powered by a Hafler amp, in a nearfield set-up. Absolutely amazing! We listened to modern recordings of rock & rap, as well as some 80's rock and 90's rap, the most lifelike dynamics I've ever heard from recorded music. And the source was an iPod! That session has me reconsidering my whole system.

PBN Montana loudspeakers.

Why not go to your local pro music store and buy a pro speaker. Since the music was originally played through such a speaker it will probably sound most realistic when played back through the same sort of speaker. Compression horn tweeter, and all.

By the way, you will save some $$$$.

Legacy Focus will rattle your windows. (3) 12 inch woofers in each speaker!
