which excels at Rock and Roll


Room is 14X14' No treatments, but, room currently sounds great. Amp PASS X250.8, Fritz Carbon 7se bookshelves, LA-4 preamp, SVS SB3000 sub, Bricasti M5 streamer, Meitner DAC, only Rock and Roll, 85 or so DB   Considering used, Platimon VC 1, Arendal 15-28,  Marten  Oscar, Acora MRB-1, and Small tower, Devore Fidelity Gibbon super 9. There are others, but, I believe these would be the top contenders, USED?  Any and all responses welcomed. Love my FRITZ and won't sell. Just considering the above. Thanks, Robert TN

Thank you so much for the info. I really like the Acora mrb-1 a lot.  Not crazy about the spade plugs required though. Appreciate the info on the Devore super 9 for rock. If you want a good laugh, I had met Greg about a year ago at his home/shop in Baxter, TN. He gave me a very nice tour and showed me his whole operation, spent about 3 hours. Didn't listen to any speakers though. I may call him and ask to demo a pair possibly. Was looking mainly for a bookshelf, just wondering if his would be too much for the room. Funny part now, I live 5 minutes from his house/shop.   The 1528's are on my list as well. Very reasonably priced.  I just finished and email to Arandal, REF: tweeter/mid range height for listening. My current listening height for my Fritz is 39," Current table is 26"  The tweeter height on the 1528 is 16.5 inches from the bottom of the cabinet. If you do the math, you either accept the additional height or get  about a 22 to 23 inch stand or table?  Kinda where I'm at now.  Hope some of this helps you. Robert

All systems come with house sound. The trick is finding the house sound you like and will to live with for awhile regardless of genre of music 

I've heard and owned many speakers. 

The best I have heard for rock, even metal music, have been Dynaudio and Usher.

Mangepan Tympani were also very good.

Have you ever listened to a pair of JBL L100 Classics ? 
They excel at rock and roll and can provide long listening sessions without having any fatigue.
