Speakers for Rock Music

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.

I would be on the hunt for snell C4 and C5's;great rock speakers for the era music you are going to be playing;bad news none for sale now;they do show up though.

PMC - maybe the fb1i used
