Audiophile system for Techno and Dance music


Hello fellow audiophiles. What would be your choice of speakers (and other components) for audiophile listening of Techno (!) and Dance music, in a moderate size room ?

What kind of budget? Are you going to be dancing? Think off the floor.
I love to dance, but tearing up 5-10K speaker. Dancing is one thing, partying is another. Ones off the floor, ones not.. Ones Audiofile, ones entertainment.

Seas use to be VERY popular, around a dance floor. They had that tight techno, ability. 6-8-10" drivers,(metric) I use to be amazed how clear, the music was EVERYWHERE. Does that sound right.. It was always overhead, pointed at a dance stage. The DJ was in his little sound dampened snug, spinnin’ vinyl..

Dance. Dance, Dance.... Tap Tap, Samba!

We use to do a harvest party, Halloween! Mercy. My gear room was off limits, the speakers were in the shop
50 X100 15 foot lids. 1978-88.  6 Bose 901 hung and 2 500 lb bass bins. All pushed with Mac SS and valve gear...1-200 people.. Michael Jackson, Donna Summer, The Bee Gees, THEN Mr Funk-O-Delic, and alway Carlos... Salsa... Amego.. Cha Cha Cha....

I call it the pepper spray / taser dance.. Come to close to my gear at a party... YUP, I'll ask ONCE.. :-)

Sounds crazy, my daughter bought us a disco ball, one of the real nice one.. "Light Beats" too. Flashes different colors to the beat..

Again if your dancing.. DRINKIN’, yikes! Off the floor..

These work VERY well. I saw a setup with these in a sports bar.
Three or 4 makes a circle, for center ceiling placement.. and in the corners. Glasses weren’t rattling off tables, Clear as a bell. EASY to adjust if certain areas are HOT..

Push the mains back out of harms way.. Barricades go UP...

We party over here... :-)

I’ve never heard bagpipes at a dance...

Serious Boom Boom, I had a pair that were as big a LARGE refiers..They were back to back, the pair together weight in at 480 lbs I had two pairs..  You could load 1 or two 15" inside.. I used 1 per enclosure. 100 X 50 X 15 room, About 100-150 watts per bass bin

Half throttle over 100 db..

Jensen Imperials are wonderful too. Have to make them, but..they are 100-103 sen. 30-50 watts.. all you need.  I'm not sure on the Techno sound part though.. Kids took us to a Rave 15 years ago.  We did everything BUT the drugs...I had toilet paper in my ears, still way to loud..

Sure had a great time..
