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 ?

I listen to Trance, House and then back to orchestral on my system.
The less distortion the happier I am to listen to it.

I will undoubtedly end up with a swarm sub integrated into my system as well.

Enjoy the mu51c
Massive SPL, huge volume cannot possibly compete against a highly resolving sytem, even for Techno or any other EDM music.
I am not saying my 400 watts per channel doesn't perform, and cannot play loud. However I will state that low distortion, high resolution is certainly more engaging.

@twodolphins not sure if you like Trance of not, but I've now got two of Above and Beyond's live acoustic albums and I am lovin' them. Thanks for introducing me to Oliver Lieb, I quite liked it actually. I will investigate more of your artists listed as well. Cheers brov.

I’ll be the first to admit, the list of devices you have posted URLs for, I have heard not one of them.
I have been to quite a few events, and despite the fact I wasn’t under the influence of recreational pharmaceuticals, I had a great time with the other thousands there.

I worked in a hifi loudspeaker manufacturer’s factory, and in the same area of industry there was a pro audio supply store, where DJs would come and invest in gear. Anyway, I did go and listen to some systems they had from time to time. I was asked what kind of power we were running in our system?? Then the few times I was met with, well.. we have 2000watt amplifiers on each of our bins/speakers.

I am opinionated, I’ll admit it, but just one of their guys ever came to see what we did, and he was very impressed at the information he could hear in the more accurate system with significantly less power. At the time it was a pair of Mac MC-501.

What is a moderate sized room? Would one really require a KW of amplifier to energize the room enough to make Techno and EDM enjoyable?
I have yet to hear a pro sound system that delivers a truly low distortion immersive sound that I enjoy.

It may exist somewhere, I hope it does it would be great, I haven’t witnessed it yet.
