  Speakers for 80s rock?
Looking to build an inexpensive, maybe vintage, system for a friend who is immersed in 80s rock.

What speakers might you all recommend?

Something fat in the bass. Many 80s discs seem to be anemic in the bass - I'm thinking of Blondie, Cheap Trick, Poison in particular; I think htere are others, but I can't remember specifics. I heard they were engineered to sound their best on a particular type of speaker that was popular among college kids, but can't remember which it was - ,aybe Ohms?
