Good ROCK speakers

Im Running a set of DefTech 2004TLs for my main speaks.

One general concensus on this board is these are better used for HT than 2ch due to the bipolar design.

Well, im sure you all kno what you are talking about, and im looking to overhaul my front end to a prepro/amp system. HTY with integrated 2CH w seperate amp

There are alot of different people with different tastes, and i like to really be able to ROCK. Crank it up and jam out without distortion.

Im planning on moving my deftech 2004tls to the surrounds, and my bp6's to the rear, giving me space for new front speakers.

Whaats are some real good speakers to ROCK out with? Loud and proud, clear and full range.

Ive been thinking of possible vandersteens. Also considered ML, but im not too sure how much tthese are made to ROCK!!!!

suggestions?

Any metalheads out there with some advise?

I went with the Shearwaters. In my opinion you will be floored when you listen to Tool, Metallica, AC/DC, etc. through the Shearwaters or Vandersteens. You will hear things for the first time, even though you heard the CD 100 times before.
I'm using a NAD 218 (250/ch), when I want to listen loud I just turn on the subs, and use a crossover at 120. Most CD's I could make my ears bleed w/ no distortion from the ML.
And when you turn it down and run full range it's hard to beat the detail and imaging.

JBL 4344 or the new JBL K2 Series speakers. Please see http://www.jbl.com/home/products/series.asp?SerId=K2 I heard them recently, and they are absolutely awesome with ROCK!!!! But don't play classical music on them, because you will be disappointed.......

Drubin: I've had multiple pairs of Hereys's and La Scala's and still have a pair of each of them. All of them have been modified to various extents and i would not be horribly upset if i was stuck with either set of speakers so long as i could build my system around them. Sean

I own the Legacy Signature III. one notch down from the Legacy focus and they can Rock ! I do agree with the above posters who are tellling you your Def Tech speakers may not be the problem. Its what your feeding your speakers. The Best speakers in the world will sound terible with a weak front end of if they are underpowered.

JBL L100's. Ebay has used ones for sale all the time. They are built like the Titanic and the woofers don't need reconing like the 110's, L200's...etc. Another plus is that the raw drivers are always for sale as well...A true testament to the build quality involved. To this day, the JBL midrange are one of the premier designs for reproducing vocals. I was just playing Black Sabbath's Heaven & Hell remastered cd and it sounds like I'm in the front row.

There is a reason that these speakers, in their consumer released version, were prefered by studios as monitors. And like I previously stated in another post, unless you are listening to Classical music (I personally detest it), and want to hear that last note on a harp or something, the L100's are the best of the breed.
