Best speaker for rock music

Klipsch is a good choice for rock. If you don't like the horn, then check out Paradigm, either Monitor or Reference models depending on your budget and taste. My choice would be Reference 40 (plus a sub from either Rel -- if you can afford it -- or Monitor Audio) which would give a bit more moderation in higher frequency and presentation. Go with Monitor series if you want "let it all hang out" presentation. JBL studio pro's are good for rock/dance as well -- perhaps the best value and my choice without a sub -- though you may be better off with Paradigm monitors and a sub considering the room size. I can't say the ones I mentioned are the best speakers for rock; but, you will get bangs for buck... Go Vikes!!!!

The Dynaudio Contour 1.1 - about $1K used, fairly small monitor, awesome sound with remarkable low end considering their size. I have them in my office and the Contour 3.0's in my main system with is both music and HT. Only drawback is they definitely want some power behind them - 100 stout watt/ch minimum.

I second the opinion of Cornfedboy. The Avalon's are the best I have heard with all types of music, and rock is no exception. They do it all, soundstage, detail, accurate, powerful bass, realism, and a touch of magic. All the better if you have good gear.

I owned a pair of Paradigm Ref Studio 60's for a couple of years. They were great for rock. Especially with a large, good quality solid state amp. They're worth checking out. Good luck.

NHT 2.5i is another option.
