Concert Experience for $5k?


I have a budget of $5k for new/used stereo speakers.
I have a VPI turntable, PrimaLuna Dialogue preamp and a Cary Audio V12 tube amp. (yeah, the one with 12 EL34’s sticking out of it) I’ve got quality gear and plenty of horsepower.

I am chasing the rock concert experience. When you’re at a live show drums have a sharp attack and crack. Bass/kick drums have a punch you can feel. ....that’s what I want to feel when I play a live album.

Which speakers - new or used - would you recommend to recreate that rock concert feeling?

Impossible with a 5k budget in my opinion.....   when I was young I had a pair of Klipsch CF4 towers driven by a pair of B&K M200 Sonata amps  along with a Velodyne ULD 15.  It was loud sure ,but it still couldn't present music like a live performance.
