Rock and roll speakers?

I'll second or third the recommendations for the classic Klipsch speakers, with a special soft spot for the Heresey model. I thought they sounded just as good as the Forte, but were much smaller and easier to live with.

My own, personal opinion, I hate Cerwin Vega.

That pair of snell c5's is what I would be looking at; I have a friend in Minnesota that owned a pair and only played classic rock music on them and I thought they always did a great job.
I play the listed music as well and find my nola ko's and soundlab m2's handle it with no problem; exception is the price is higher than the question but if you can find used maybe the price might work.

Ads l910. Easy to drive, easy to listen and dynamic as hell.

So what's it going to be?

Thank you all for the inputs. Very informative.Seems like a good amount of answers are pointing towards Klipsch or JBL. I will look around and try to listen to different models.Keep the opinions coming.
