Your opinions on what speakers to go with?

I listen mostly to rock, dance/trance, female vocals?

My system is comprised of Rogue Audio M150 Monoblocks, Rogue Audio Perseus Preamp, Consonance Turandot Player, and Monitor RS8's speakers.

I am looking to upgrade the speakers and I would like to know your opinions on what to go with (or what companies make a system that for the most part sound great with the music that I listen to).

My problem is when I raise the volume only to mid levels I start hearing distortion coming from the Monitors, as well as sounds mixing together (when they shouldn't). I like to listen to my music loud so please keep that in mind.

Please any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Tom

your queston regarding Usher dancer series would require knowing your room size, the tiny dancer works very well in a small room whereas the larger dancer series realy requires a much larger room. Many of the Usher speakers will work well with lower power amps but the dancer series loves power. Your mono blocks would be a nice match with the 8871 and we have powered the tiny dancer and a pair of 8571 with a big rogue stereo amp with very good results.

Consider line arrays (Sealh Audio, GR Research among others).

Shadorne is right. Klipsch gives the best bang for the buck. Especially horns like the ones used in Quartets. I have used them with a 7270 McIntosh SS amp hooked to a C-1 Carver preamp, and now a Cary V12R tube amp and a Cary SLP98P preamp, and they sound great. The old SS system had 6 different sound processors that have now been eliminated, since I went to all tubes. Good luck.
