A good pair of speakers should be a jack of all trades for all genres of music. I pretty much listen to jazz and classical. So airy treble, midrange clarity, nimble bass, dynamics, large soundstage and focused image are all good traits for listening these genres. Rock and roll calls for controlled bass and dynamics too.
which speaker is better suited for Rock and Roll
I started a blog a while back on speakers suited for rock and roll and the responses were great. Just to refresh, Listen to Rock only, 85 db to 90 or so. Somewhat small room 13x13' with doors at either end. (square room more or less) Amp that will be used Pass X250.8, good meitner DAC, Bricasti streamer, SVS SB 3000 sub, Benchmark LA-4 pre amp. Stream Qobuz through Audirvana. Current System with FRITZ carbon 7 SE Mk2 are Very Good. Keeping them regardless. Would like to see if I could jump up several rungs on the ladder (bigger sound stage, more clarity, more dynamic, etc) better MIDS and highs. Speakers that have been heard are Sonus Faber Guarneri (EXCELLENT, but EXPENSIVE) vs (haven't heard) Joseph AUDIO Graphene Pulsar, and Acora MRB (bookshelf) Marten Parker DUO, (haven't heard) but, most likely out of my price range unless used somewhere. The two top contenders are the Joseph audio pulsar vs The Sonus Faber Guarneri. If anyone has either or both or has heard them , would love to hear your opinions or suggestions, probably last speaker for my lifetime here. Thanks Robert TN

) Likely monitor/bookshelf for your medium sized room. Don’t buy it for the type of music, that’s a myth. Rock and roll is the widest genre with so many variations anyway. - 58 posts total
