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.

If you really want to hear all the intricacies of JayZ, or 50 Cent recordings, then B&W 801 might not be resolving enough.
I would go with this: http://www.mbl-usa.com/View.aspx/2154/mbl-101-X-treme,
The bass shouldn't be too bad either

Really - for that type of music, some true pro-sound reinforcment speakers will do a better job than any high-end speakers I've ever heard. Check out the EAWs. Plenty of bass for those who crave it.

Heard the Sjofn Guru QM10 a few years ago at one of the audio shows in New York and was really impressed with the bass. Best bass and soundstage I heard in a really small speaker and you can put them against the wall. Great for the kind of music you listen to. Check it out.
