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

Well, do they have any California dealers south of San Jose? Heck, might as well drive to Boulder. Mike
I don't want to start another thread within this one. Email me for a list of notes that i've accumulated from modding more than a few sets of their older series of speakers. Sean >
There's only one option. Definitive Technology's BP2000TL's. They sound as good as Martin Logans, but have enough bass to rock your world. They're bipolar, they have a 15" sub w/500watt amp in each speaker. Soundstage is amazing. There isn't a better set of speakers in this price range nor for even twice the price.
I have to ditto the Avalons. I just got a pair of the Opus, and can't believe how good it sounds with all music. Extremely musical with the punch to rock.
