Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno
I love many genres of music. Having a hard time finding a speaker that sounds great with hip hop, techno and rock. Suppose I should mention I've auditioned the Dynaudios Hertiage Specials and Sonus Faber Oylmpia Nova 1s. They sound fantastic with classical, acustic guitar, female voices etc... But what audiophile speaker ..especially at the 7-8k price point doesn't. Idk.. Im starting to think I need two sets of speakers. Sonus Faber Olympica Novas sound beautiful...then maybe a pair for other genres of music. Any suggestions for speakers that sound great for hip hop rock and tecno? I'm only able to do bookshelves...and I do have a pair of RELs already.
My pwr amp is a coda no.8 v2 @ 250w
That is true and those same speakers don't do justice to classical music either! Classical music can have some serious bass drum whacks along with 16Hz organ pedal tones; 'if the room isn't shaking something's wrong' kinda thing. |
Well it is true that some speakers move more air than others and this is a valid consideration. But if the only thing that the speaker does well is bass it is a bad speaker. Same is true of SPLs. These issues have nothing to do with one speaker sounding better on a certain genre of music however. If the bass is done correctly and all other pieces are in place, this lower bass speaker will sound better on all types of music. |
@gavman Alternatively how about 'Sensory' by Symbiosis? On the original vinyl, the speed was specified at 33 1/3 which was incorrect. But that is how I always played it...

Yes i certainly preferred that...we'd call that genre 'goa trance'. If you like the 808 sound, try this? All Ablaze, by Ian Brown
Meanwhile, getting back to bass extension, solidity, punch😁 We have a genre known as drum and bass. Here the melody is often in the sub-bass. This also happens to be my favourite tune by anyone. The bass is astonishing
