What speakers have best bass for hip hop, and rock

I have revel studios and krell kav2250's bi amp, and I'm not that happy with the bass or soundstage. I recently heard a B&W 801N, liked it, and want to audition the new 802D. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I really don't know what else is out there that would be good. As you see, I am mostly into "popular" music. Thanks.

My vote goes to a pair of Klipsch Chorus II's. I own a pair that I don't use anymore but they can put out some serious SPL in the bass dept. You can probably find a used pair for under $500. I got mine from ebay years ago but I'm sure some show up on the Gon every once in awhile.

Each cabinet has 1 active 15" & 1 passive 15" along with two separate horns for Mid/Tweet

The price is fantastic. Are there many dealers where they can be auditioned?

They do not make them anymore but they are available on the used market. Heck, I'd sell you mine but I don't feel like dealing with the shipping of the beasts.

I don't think much RAP has that low a bass in it to begin with. Typically the artist exploits the frequency that most sub boxes have their bandpass port tuned to which would be from 100-80hz on down.

Unless your listening to DJ Magic Mike or Shorty The Pimp I think any Klipsch previously mentioned would fit the bill just fine
