Best ever for rock, and you don’t need a $$$$$ amp, even a 20w tube drives them.

A really mint pair of Yamaha NS1000 1000M 1000X or their new successor the NS5000 if you got the cash

Cheers George

Ive had MANY JBL's and I can tell you DONT get the L100's for 70's/80's Classic Rock. I would also NEVER suggest HARBETH because they are far too polite for this Genre.

My favorite JBL's is actually a Combo that I use together...The L166 for the High's and the 4312A Monitors for their amazing midrange. Both lack what the other has in spades but combined they are sublime. If you need any work done on vintage speakers I would highly recommend MILLERSOUND in Pennsylvania. Bill does an incredible job and his prices are very reasonable. He installed NOS Tweeters on my JBL's, Refoamed the Woofers and they are basically brand spanking new.

bose 901 series 6, pull them in 2'x2' from each corner and hang them at 2' down and you'll find what you're looking for.

I mostly listen to "Classic" Rock" through my Focal Sopra 2's!
Bad to the bone...
