Is speaker accuracy important for a rock speaker?


I listen to rock mostly and much of rock is distorted. Feedback reverb etc. Bass bloated and not tight. So do you really need an accurate speaker?? To hear a violin concerto yes. But for rock? You need one to play loud of course. One that will fill up the room with bass. Also should it matter much if the speaker does not sound its best at low volume? Hey rock is mostly about volume. I have heard of speakers sounding good at low and high volume but those get pricey. Im on a rock budget. Ive had OHM I's for a long time, the drivers being upgraded 6-7 years ago. Some would argue but to me their good speakers. I took the plunge after that and bought a used pair of a well reviewed speakers. Kept them a year and sold them. The midrange was clearer but they did not envelope you in sound like your at a rock concert. Those were PSB stratus golds. I also heard a Vandersteen 2CE at length at a showroom. They sounded colored to me? Maybe my tastes are different. Maybe my hearings gone!!!. Maybe Im not able to hear the refinement. Would a good used Cerwin Vega or JBL be better? I live out in the country and dont get to visit many stereo shops. I have a 300 watt Bryston. I am on a tight budget. $800 tops.

Really, it all comes down to 'noise', which is the heart of rock, so any speaker will do.
On the right high end system rock will rock!

My Mirage M3sis with 100 watt tube ARC VT100 do the best job on rock that I have heard. If you want to capture a Les Paul played through a Marshall, then this system does it.

Allot of rock I listen to is real mid rangy, so a system that does midrange well is called for.

Lately, on a different system, with very revealing speakers, I have been listing to some "boring rock", like The Eagles, and allot of the lighter tunes have tons of information that is lost with el crapo speakers. I did not like this music 30 years ago, because I had a crappy stereo.
I just happened to have found a Stereophile from 92 with a review of the Mirage 3si !!!! Its want me to try one. It was the reviewers ref speaker. He was quite happy with it. $2800 in 92 dollars. Wonder what one would go for now? Could someone look that up here for me. Appreciated. But have you compared them to a PSB stratus Gold?? Thanks all. Mike
