I have B&W CDM 7nt's and let me tell you they CAN rock!! I listen to everything from Jazz to Heavy metal...and never have been disappointed. Powered with Amps from a Mcintosh 162 solid state to a AES DJH super amp! They can and will rock....now if you want to break the windows in your house you may want to add a sub to your system...but thats not my taste.
Speakers for Rock
I'm looking to buy the system of my dreams. I listen to mainly rock music - everything from 50s, classic rock like Led Zepplin to new stuff like Blink 182. I listen to country, jazz, classical here & there.
My question is - what brands of speakers are best for rock music?
I've been looking at B&W CDM9's pretty seriously, as well as Thiel or maybe the 804s used. But I often hear comments regarding the B&Ws that they aren't the best for rock. I'm not sure where to start on this search - there are so many brands and most shops only sell a few so I'm looking for some pointers......
(As for components, I've been thinking of Rotel separates or a B&K 805.)
Thanks for the help!
