What are the best speakers for 80's hard rock?

For 80s hard rock I really enjoyed a pair of Advent 5012 W speakers that were re-foamed and restored. I powered them with an Accuphase E202 Integrated but had to be careful with the volume control.

My Classic Audio Loudspeakers model T3.3 are the best for rock and roll.  And **all** other forms of music. Because they are the best. In my room. That I've heard so far. With my equipment. And my taste.

Once again, the idea that a speaker is better for one kind of music as opposed to another is 100% myth. The speaker is unable to distinguish what music it is playing.

We're talking about **1980s** **hard rock** for Pete's sake! What if its 1970s hard rock or 1990s hard rock?? Or what if its 1980s metal (which is not hard rock- ask any metal dude if hard rock is 'true')?

How in the heck can speakers be so genre specific?? The simple fact is that they are not. If its good for classical, it will have the punch, detail and dynamic range to handle rock or folk or whatever you throw at it. All speakers trade off things in price and performance; some might say that you need more efficiency or bass to do rock right, but you need that for classical too. As well as 90s house dub. And the ability to play my band, which is 2010s hard rock (space rock actually; slightly different genre...).

So- the idea that a speaker is somehow genre specific if complete nonsense and is 100% myth, and FWIW is the biggest myth in the world of loudspeakers. 

My speaker system sounds great for all eras of hard Rock & Roll, except a few specific things from late June of 1979…otherwise atmasphere is correct as usual, although some may find analog recordings of Liberian Death Mumblecore using a 1952 Martin Tiple somewhat challenging for drivers using alnico magnets. Trust me.

my energy rc-70's, with way overpowered amps sound purely amazing, and just sound........right. as the highs rolloff of these speakers makes merciful fate, sodom, bathory, slayer, hirax, satan jokers sound amazing, as if your a real metalhead, and your blasting reign in blood or the conspiracy in your car, you KNOW the treble is fuc*in fairly painful, yet we pull through and keep blasting the metal. which is why i love these speakers, they give 0 fatigue, and i mean absolutely NONE, no matter my volume, i can sit and listen to any metal i choose and most of the time i end up drifting off because there is no shrill what so ever! i have two pairs of these now, and they are my go to. if i find another pair i will buy another, they are that good ( for me)

but i still hammer down on my D-9's from time to time, and t hey are an amazing rock speaker. you can't do that with snell, paradigm, or other higher end speakers, there just not made for it
