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

Under your budget, but you might like the PSB Stratus Gold speaker. It's attractive (for a box) and PSB has lots of dealers, so you should be able to personally audition a pair.

I have heard the PSB Strasus Gold and not the best at details.

2000.00 will buy you klipschorns, and I am sure that none of the others listed will rock like they will.

If the WAF is a major consideration, then my suggestion may not go over well - however, I think you should seriously check out Vandersteens. In your price range you could get a new pair of Vandy 3A Signatures with Sound Anchors. The Vandersteens may not be as detailed as you like, but I suggest that you give them a listen. I think they represent a significant value.

I would have bought a pair of 2CE Sigs myself, were it not for the WAF...

I really like my Klipsch Legend Series speakers. They are simply awesome for rock/pop music. I would recommend the KLF-20's or their bigger brother the KLF-30's.
