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!

distortion produced by design and the rest of music of 80's hard rock in general poorly recorded. that's why. what's the point having invested huge for a few songs vs. the rest of bands?

Sorry, this comment is nonsense. For starters, rock going back the 1950s has had 'distortion by design'- that is the sound of an electric guitar, which continues to this day.

Like any genre, 80s rock has some excellent and some poor recordings as does rock from any other period.
