Best speakers for classic rock

I had a pair of JBL 100's I won in a contest .It was soon gone because it was not at all good on classical .

Klipsch rf7lll's. Love mine, for everything. Paid $1900 for mine, delivered.

Jbl l-65, l-200, l-300. If you can find them in good condition and reasonable price. 
Forget l-100. Overrated and shrill 

Sealed box acoustic suspension to get that midbass punch.  This ported stuff is for tea parties.  😊

I had EPI 120s when I was a kid. Those things can rock! I am not an expert on the range available at that price level today, but for $2500 you can either get a pair of new in box ELAC UniFi UF-5 Towers, which I did own at one time. Excellent speakers for the money. Take the change and invest it back into your system. Another idea is to buy a pair of Magnepan .7i or 1.7i speakers. Depending on which you get you may have enough left over for a subwoofer. The Magnepans have an unbeatable soundstage for the money. I have the 1.7i pair and love them. Taking delivery of a pair of Magico A3 at the end of the month (I hope) and the battle will begin!!
