Best speakers for classic rock


Hello all,
Im looking for advice on purchasing speakers in the 2500.00 range for listening to classic rock.
Any suggestions  would be helpful.
Cheers

@deep_333 Your trash talk really isn’t impressive and won’t earn you any respect here.

Why don’t you just explain, in technical terms, why a really good speaker can’t sound really good on a wide variety of genres. That way we can deal with facts and come to a conclusion one way or the other and not have to read a lot of opinionated garbage.

I would also NEVER suggest HARBETH because they are far too polite for this Genre.

What about your Triangle Comete 40th Anniversary for rock?

Speakers can excel more at one genre than another because of different requirements in volume and bass.  This becomes blindingly obvious when you take it to an extreme.  Say a speaker needs to be able to do 120db at 20hz and can't cost more than 3k.  Another speaker is fine being down 3db at 35hz and can't cost more than 5k.  Does anybody really believe these aren't two different designs?  The first one is going to have to have most of the money in bass drivers and big boxes.  The second one will not.  

There are lots of speakers that don't play ANY genre well, and there are lots of really good speakers that play many genres well.  That's the disagreement with deep 333.  He thinks that no speaker can play a wide variety of genre's well.
