Best speaker for rock music

What is a great, reasonably priced speaker/studio monitor that will really excel on rock/dance/techno? I would imagine this same type of system would also sound great for home theater. I have a small to medium size room, 15' x 13' with cathedral ceilings. I already have a nice audiophile rig but it has the familiar problems with most compressed rock and techno recordings. Thanks, Mike

Kkirkpa@home.com,I think you're right, Cory Greenburg likes the NHT 3.3 but Zenaudio's room seems to be midsize, so the 2.5i I think will be good for it. Now I'm using my 2.5i's on my hometheater setup. A very nice all around speaker.

zenaudio: the avalon symbols are $3k, IMHO a quite reasonable price given their performance. it's the big bad boys at avalon that get pricey. ;~)

You should also check out Genelec Active/Powered monitors. While not cheap, these speakers can sustain very high spl's and at the same time remain very true to the source. Put a serious preamp and cables in front of these guys and you're set.

Cornfed: I can't even find the Symbols on their webpage. Are these really new? Mike
