Actually, there IS one speaker which can be related to Rock music more than perhaps any other: the Yamaha NS-10. The NS-10 was for years found if just about every recording studio control room I was in, used to monitor the sound the recording engineer was getting from the mics out in the studio. The tweeter in the NS-10 was so nasty engineers began placing a sheet of toilet parer over that driver.
Way back in the 1960’s J. Gordon Holt pointed out in his reviews of both loudspeakers and recordings that the sound he heard in many Pop music recordings (as opposed to Classical, not Rock) was an inverse of the frequency response he measured in many speakers that were being used as monitors in studios. Get it? The engineers were using graphic equalizers to make the instruments and voices sound lifelike, but they were using monitor loudspeakers with very inaccurate frequency responses. If you looked at the frequency respose suggested by the sliders in the equalizers, it was the inverse of the frequency response of the monitor loudspeakers! +1 plus -1 = 0.
