What are the best speakers for 80's hard rock?

Hello folks!
I want suggestions for best speakers and amp for 80's hard rock music. Many bad recordings, so many high end speakers (and amps) sounds very harsh and hard, with little bass. It's more important to me that my stereo can play bad recordings in a good way, than play good recordings in a fantastic way.

I want very laidback and soft treble, but I want a bass that goes deep and alo is very punchy.

I know many people say that I should here on vintage speakers. But I want new speakers. Any price range!

Thanks for suggestions!

I thought I wrote this already but can't find it. 
Atmasphere is correct.
The best speakers are the speakers You like the best.  Period. 
That said run Big old Cerwin Vegas and some Klipsch Hereseys simultaneously add a sub and you are off to the races.

You know Klipsch make updated versions of some of their heritage line. Heresys are the smallest speakers in that line but by no means small sounding.  If they got the crossover fixed it would be an excellent choice.  I own the original version, but always wanted to get an upgraded crossover to yield a richer bass tone.  They are phenomenal at reproducing electric guitar.  Jimi Hendrix sounds like he's playing for you, when you put on some of his live tracks.
