Why do people assume that 'rock is only about slam. boom. screech and more bass??
I've listened to 'rock' all my adult life (now in 50's) yes some rock is about volume... however, lets now take it in another direction... Pink Floyd, Yes, ELP, 'real' Genesis (with P Gabriel), Mike Oldfield, Eagles, Sinead O'connor, Annie Lennox, Do you REALLY want to listen to good vocalists, people who can 'really really' play instruments on an 'inferior' hifi?
Get good quality speakers, you'll not regret it.
My own equipment? H&K CD, Ming Da MC34AB and World Audio KSL9 speakers (custom made wood enclosures) Not up market hi-fi, but certainly good listening.
