Speakers for Hip Hop and vocal???

I am a college student looking for speakers that will play any kind of music. I know hi fi speakers are not really meant for hip hop but I happen to like hi fi and hip hop at the same time. I listen mostly to vocal, pop, and hip hop. I heard the Krell resolution 3 before, and I really like that up front presentation but it is way over my budget. My budget is $1500 for a used pair in a small to medium size room. Thanks for all suggestions.

"I know hi fi speakers are not really meant for hip hop"

That's some wrong thinking there!

I would rec. splitting your budget between a sub and satellite, ie.

ATC SCM12's and Rel Strata, or a Velodyne F1200, Paradigm
Reference 1500?, you get the idea. Add a Behringer Feedback destroyer ($90) to Flatten out the room bumps and EQ the crossover point between the satellites and the sub. Done. Reference system on a budget... Add 100watt integrated and CD player

And their like "It's better than yours"
Damn right, It's better than yours,
I can teach you, but I have to charge +++++

Hip Hop has its challenges, but no job is difficult if you buy the right tools.

PS: that system will play jazz as well as any (refined?) audiophiles speaker.
