Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K

"There is no such thing as truly excellent crap that worked brilliantly for any kind of music."

That is a strange opinion. I have had quite a few speakers, large and small that were very satisfying with every type of music. I don't know what your yardstick is...a fraternity beer blast?

@ roxy54,

You are correct about the Volti speakers.  I was wrong, I was thinking of another brand.

@stereo5 

No problem buddy, we all make them.

@roxy54

"Very satisfying" eh?...My yardstick is that I’ve been proficient in playing a couple of instruments for 40+ years (violin, piano...can also slam with a guitar if i have to) and may have a better idea about how artists think, how things sound in real life, etc.

I have owned different kinds of "high end" speakers and know that different kinds of speakers sound better or worse at any price bracket for specific genres of music.

What’s your yardstick? Let me take a wild guess (kinda like how you did about the frat house beer blast n all).

a) 4 to 5 "audiophile" records on repeat all year with emphasis on "female vocals" for listening to your gear? lol (That’s about the extent of your playlist?). If a great artist has a suboptimal (non audiophile) recording, you wouldn’t play it?

b) Dealer/sales dude (watching out for his daily green) for some brand that I dissed for hard rock, etc?

a, b, or both?

@stereo5 Have you ever compared your Triton Reference’s to Tannoy Turnberry’s, Klipsch, or PS Audio’s speakers?  I also listen to mostly rock and have the Turnberry’s which are great, but I’ve always wondered how those Triton’s sound?
