Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno

+3 on the B&W 804D3s. I owned a pair for about 18 months, but had to move to a smaller listening room. I didn't find them "bright", but almost any speaker can sound not their best in the wrong system.

I currently run Dynaudio Contour 20i speakers. Like most rear ported speakers, some room treatment/bass traps will make a huge difference on bass boominess... at least it did for my room/system. Placement in the room takes some time to dial in the best sound, of course. The Contours sound even better when you give them some volume, and I imagine the larger models would excel with your music selections if you have the room.

The alta go lower and have greater clarity 

Contrary to popular belief in this thread, when Klipsch Heritage speakers are set up and powered appropriately they excel at all genres of music. Care must be taken, but when you get it right, the payoff is worth it.

@soix it makes sense why u would suggest the 19s. The two speakers I mentioned in my post are bookshelf speakers. :)

listening space is the living room and the room isn't very big. Unfortunately I bought my house before I got into this hobby.  :/

Space has been a killer for me. My partner at work feels my house isn't set up for high end audio. I don't think hes right... i just have to compromise more than most.

Sounds like ATC are bit more forgiving with placement.  As with Sonus Faber and some Focals.
