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!

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?

The CErwin Vega recommendations are interesting. Its been many years but that is one brand of speakers I can say I have never, ever heard sound good. The bass always seems to be muddy. DID these get better later on? Specific models that are better maybe? Or maybe improvements in amps and other gear over time makes them sound better than they did?
