Speakers For Rock

I am looking for speakers for rock/pop. My budget is 4000.00. I'm looking for a speaker that is good with rock, does well at the details instead of hints at them, yet at the same time is not fatiguing. The speakers I have in my main system are very good at a lot of things. However, they are not my cup of tea with the kind of music I like. They okay with poor recordings (most rock/pop). I want something that will sound killer with the poor recrodings. From reading the forums, it seems like the Von Schweikert VR 4 jrs may foot the bill. Thoughts? Thanks

I second the Tyler idea. although you might need a (stereo) subwoof to get full authority in the bass.
An unusual recommendation: horns. A good design like the old Klipsch (if you have the room) could fit your bill.

I would go for a used pair of Proac Response 3.8s. You might not think, but their 6.5 inch lower bass driver makes them ideal partners for good rock. You should find a decent pair around for about 3000-4000 used. I have them and their great with a good powerful amp an good source.

Hi again, Kclone.

An update on the Linbrook System - Ty now also makes a one piece model that is front ported and better if speakers require placement close to the front wall.

Best wishes for great music, whatever your decision.

Thanks for the responses so far guys. I did not like the looks of the Taylo Reference IIIs, or should I say I don't think my wife would go for it. I will be sure to check out the Proacs since I have never heard them. Anyway, any more suggestions?
