What are the best speakers for 80's hard rock?

Hello folks!
I want suggestions for best speakers and amp for 80's hard rock music. Many bad recordings, so many high end speakers (and amps) sounds very harsh and hard, with little bass. It's more important to me that my stereo can play bad recordings in a good way, than play good recordings in a fantastic way.

I want very laidback and soft treble, but I want a bass that goes deep and alo is very punchy.

I know many people say that I should here on vintage speakers. But I want new speakers. Any price range!

Thanks for suggestions!

How about speakers that you like which play music well and consider a clean EQ, such as GML, to address "80's" CD mastering?

Anyway, just a thought...good luck! :-)

Keithr, yes, some speakers don't rock. That's too bad for them- I would expect they would have troubles with other forms of music too.

I agree with Atmosphere. If you're rig is sorted properly, it should sound good for all types of music, period. If it is only sounding good with certain types of music its because it has faults that just aren't present when listening to that genre of music. A good system sounds good with all types of music, no?
