Best Speakers For Electronica Music

Legacy (FocusSE, AERIS, V), PBN Montana (various) and others in the line and quite a few other speakers will fit this need nicely. The Legacy's I've owned go down solidly to 16Hz and stand the test for Taiko drumming, pipe organ, rock, prog-rock, electronica and alot of other music. For electronica there is a good amount of signal info below 16-18Hz so you MAY want to get a subwoofer to round out your experience. Check out the various threads where people are asking for speaker recommendations for speakers that do Rock and Hard Rock well and you'll get a lot more speakers added to the list of candidates....

with your amp you will less-likely do any damage to your existing arros unless you're willing to drive it to clipping very loud.
totem forest actually is perfect match for electronic music, new wave, great with punk and noise and at the same time very strong.

I agree with Czarivey. Consider the Forests. They have a relatively easy to handle impedance curve so something cable of 60 W into 4 ohm should be able to drive them to good dB levels without clipping. I think they sound fantastic with all sorts of music. Properly positioned (that's key) they can produce amazing, deep and well-controlled bass.

I think Totem products including Arros are quite well made. Thing is Arros are big hitters for teh size due manily to the quality of the product but also quite small. They might due fairly well with Electronica with a good powerful amp (to avoid clipping) bt there is only so much bass that can be extracted out of a small package so clearly not optimal for Electronica, although they will still probably do surprisingly well for their size. I would be concerned about damaging them though if driven too loud for too long with lots of low frequency action. Also dynamics might be somewhat compressed compared to the optimum especially as things heat up over time when driven particularly hard.

Regafan, I also listen to electronic music quite a bit and I also like Totems quite a bit, arros included. You're best bet might be to add a subwoofer and use the crossover on the sub to cross the arros over at 80hz to lighten the load on the arros so that you don't damage them and it should also allow you to play them louder.

If you are going for that loud, throbbing bass you will probably need a sub with most any speaker without going crazy like a pair of PBN Montanas (theres a pair here on AGon right now for $2k which seems like a good deal). Keep in mind though that you would need to get a different amp also to run a speaker like the Montana to its full potential.

I've gone through a crazy amount of speakers over the past 5 years and my best setups for Techno were probably a pair of Paradigm Studio 20's V.5 combined with an SVS SB12s. The Paradigms played crazy loud but could get a little bright at times; the SVS sub shook the windows, closets and doors throughout my house so I had to brace everything that was rattling. I also like my Vandersteen 2CE's because of the bass response.

Again, I'd add a sub first because you'll probably want one anyways, and it just might be what you are looking for!
