help with speakers that rock, pleeze

The Cerwin Vega CLS 215 is the speaker for you. I understand Cerwin Vega hired two well known speaker designers for the CLS series. With dual 15" woofers crossed real low, 6" midrange and 1" tweeter. I have a friend using these speakers with a Primaluna tube integrated and he loves them. He says they will play any kind of music with no limit to dynamics. There are plenty of reviews to read on line. The Absolute Sound gave these speakers a great review.

Not seeing a budget listed here, I'd say perhaps look into the Focus 20/20's by Legacy... or the Silverline Sonata IIIs. Wilson speakers to me seem to be right there as well.

Personally I'd rethink both my amp and speakers though, were I you. Speed and leading edge definition lend themselves to rock quite well, along with impactful and deep bass. Also the room is a bit over average so some power is in order too for spekaers capable of filling one that size... or subs will do.

I'm sure there are lots more choices too in both speaker and amps, and I'd approach things just that way.. more power and larger quicker speakers with very nice response at both ends of the bandwidth. Speakers will determine which amp, primarily.

Good luck... have fun.

That is a pretty big room and those are some pretty small speakers. It's not wonder they don't rock. I would look for some speakers that are Full range or try adding a sub and see if that gets you closer to what you are looking for.

PSB Stratus Gold, would be my 1st choice, or do some research on JBL. Klipsch is good, too... and yes, Legacy!
