Speakers for Rock Music

Get a pair of Peavey PV-115 PA system speakers if you wanna rock.Cue up Uncle Ted's "Strangle Hold" and turn it up to 11!!!!!!!!!!

Many Altecs perform better than Klipsch wonder why so many suggest klipsch foregoing the better performing better built with hi-quality drivers altec models. Also the Altecs cost less than the poorer performing klipsch models. Maybe I should keep my mouth shut on altecs or the price goes up. So buy klipsch forget what I said about altecs. You guys dont want them.

For rock music from the 70's and 80's I would suggest a speaker famous in that era at DISCO'S (I know you hate that word)Cerwin Vega.They now make newer and well reviewed models.

Just Old CV dont hold up so well. Unless your ready to refoam surrounds. If looking for CV buy new.

JBL L100 or 4311. Same speaker, L100 was consumer version of 4311 studio monitor that was used to mix many of the rock hits of the 60's and 70's. Dead nuts reliable because the woofers were constructed with paper surrounds which don't deteriorate like foam surrounds. Because they are so rugged, many are still available on the used market. Check Ebay from time to time.

They play loud without a lot of power. They play much louder without breaking up than most audiophile speakers. They were designed to work either vertically or horizontally. Doesn't matter which way as they are not time-aligned.
