Best speaker new or used 2,000 for ROCK?

Speakers will be run from B&K AVR 202 which has 105 watts per channel. Will also be run with two Velodyne HGS-10 subs. I do venture once and awhile toward more docile music, so a versitile speaker would be ideal. I just don't want to end up with a speaker that is not well equipped to handle the type of music I listen to most of the time. Finally, any bi-wire cable recommendations? Thank you.

I run some 805's with 100 watts of tube, and i rarely get above 11pm on the volume. Without a sub, they can bust you up. They are prone to Lou Reed.

Mackie Pro monitors. Active so they include amps inside the speaker. Look in yellow pages under "music" for pro audio dealers.

I'd like to second the recommendation for Paradigm Studio 100 and PSB Stratus Gold. Both speakers are great for rock music.

Second the vote for the Paradigm-100 or Stratus Golds. However, both deserve all the power you can give them.

For a lower price and a speaker that takes up less space, also look at the Dahlquist QX-10's or the Axiom M80Ti.

Find a pair of NHT 3.3's or 2.9's. If rock is what you want, these will rock with the best of them.
