Speakers for Dance music and other

I agree with Shadorne here if it's dance music like disco then you might want to consider pro audio. As for me I use Klipsch LaScalas with a McIntosh amp which is a reasonably good combination for dance but clearly not for critical listening system. They can really play at ridiculous SPLs if that's you idea of a good time. That system will probably not approach your budget on the used market. The JBL suggestion is also a good one to pursue. If you can afford Wilson however, they are sensitive enough to crank, but you probably meant "Watt" Puppys . Without the Watt it would be only woofers. Never heard a woofer only system but I doubt the usual audiophile descriptions would apply. Transparency, Air, liquidity, enormous Soundstage etc.

Legacy Focus can be had on Ebay and here for around $3000-$4000 and they have 2 or 3 12" woofers depending on the model year and very high efficiency as well. They are very good speakers for any purpose but if you like a speaker with a big soundstage and a lot of cone area to move some air these are hard to beat.

I'm with Mechans on this; Klipsch LaScala or Klipschorns, and a Mac MC275 amp. That will rock the neighborhood. Put in an SVS Ultra, Sunfire, or Definitive Tech Reference sub and man, that will be a blast.

How about Emerald Physics? They use pro drivers. I used klipsch lascala for a party and wasn't at all impressed for loud dance music. They don't do deep bass. Also, how is dispersion of a horn?

I'd look into Daedalus Acoustics. I'm considering them for my main system now. I heard one of their pro combo amps at a NAMM show years ago, and it got plenty loud without being fatiguing. They were demoing with a violin, and it sounded very much like an unamplified acoustic violin that was just loud - not like an amplified-compressed-distorted typicl PA system sound at all. Rich, controlled, vibrant. Their stuff is also well made with beautifully finished hardwoods. With a $9000 budget, you could probbly buy near their top-of the line brand new and be extremely happy
