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

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?

Muddy undefined bass is never good, 80s rock or otherwise.

No they didn't and they're same, but still good fit for hard rock that is often played with distorted guitars and basses. Not good for any other music tho. If anyone listens to only hard rock and rock'n'roll no need for better ones and good way to save funds.

No worries, saki70. :D

An elitist and ignorant statement. Every genre I've listened to, including hard rock and heavy metal, benefit from a quality speaker system. The bigger Legacy speakers mentioned above would work well. Another speaker that would be excellent with rock would be the Volti Alura. Tremendous speakers, though approaching 20k.

I never liked cerwin vega with anything including hard rock but that is their most common application in practice I'd bet.
