What speakers have best bass for hip hop, and rock

ATC 16s.

I can see that I have quite a bit of homework to do. I was also thinking of looking into a Dac to improve what I am putting into my studios. That is a whole other world I am trying to learn about. I want to thank everyone for sharing their expertise. I would like to know how some become so knowledgable on high end audio.

I would like to know how some become so knowledgable on high end audio.

Easy answer:

1. Trial and Error. (We've bought, (and sold!), a fair amount of equipment, (and so have our circle of friends), so that between all of us, we've learned what works, and what doesn't, by listening to an "inordinate" amount of equipment over the years!)

FYI:
Definitions of inordinate (adj)
in·or·di·nate [ in áwrd'nət ]

1.excessive: beyond reasonable limits in amount or degree

2.unrestrained: showing a lack of restraint or control

Synonyms: excessive, undue, unwarranted, immoderate, extravagant, unreasonable, disproportionate, unconscionable, exorbitant

At least that's my answer, and I'm sticking to it!

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
