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!

Many great suggestions here .
I would add , not more companies , but design .
Look for speakers with 'one' large woofer 10" or greater not an array of small ones .
And stick with soft dome tweeters , not metal .
This will allow the heavy bass lines to come through and tame some of the strident highs .
The trouble is that speakers with this size of woofer , while plentiful in the 80's , are scarce today due to the width of the cabinet required . That is one reason that the suggestions are for older speakers .

Good luck

My bad . I reread the original post and saw that he did say "Any price range " !
