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

Gotta agree with the Tyler Acoustics. I actually visited Ty to listen to their speakers in person. Playing Green Day's "American Idiot" through the Linbrooks just floored me. Hearing that piece through speakers this quick put a whole new and positive light on it that was an amazingly visceral experience. I had to play it over several times in a row just for pure enjoyment.

They were Linbrook floorstanders - beyond that I don't remember the model.

Get the VR-4's.

Seriously - I'm using the VR-1's and play almost nothing but heavy classic rock. The results are absolutely amazing! I really can't believe the power and size these small speakers are able to produce and they're NOTHING compared to the 4's.

I auditioned the 4's and, if I could have afforded them, would have picked them up in a heart-beat!
