Suggestions for a dedicated rock system

How about a pair of vintage JBL 166 Horizon's paired with a First Watt F5 class A amp! I own this setup (Tim Rawson F5 clone) and it indeed K*CKS A**!!!

For ROCK nothing better than vintage Altecs and JBL's!!!

Here ya go!

JBL.
Full stop. 👍

I have the 4319 monitors and last night I dug out some Rob Zombie and NIN and was floored by what I heard. I thought I’d never listen to them again but am glad I did.

My neighbors weren’t. 😄

All the best,

If you want to go the vintage route, look for a pair of OHM L, H, C2, or CAM monitors.

Any of these might be had for <$1000, essentially teh same price as when new 40 years ago, but refurbished with new drivers and parts. Check with John Strohbeen at www.ohmspeakers.com.

Or any of the OHM Walsh models are different but great for rock also.

I used to sell the OHMs along with similar JBL, Infinity and others many years back and always thought the OHM sound to be much better, modeled largely on teh sound of the classic old large Advents.
