I wanna rock again!

[heywood]

I'm up to ears from audiophiley skinny, tight focused, laser point image, 5" woofer pretty boy and girly man speakers. What ever happened to the heyday of great big Kef like speakers that have all of that audiophile stuff we so proud of, But more importantly they like to be pushed and rock the walls. Remember the phrase,''these really get up and BOOGIE speakers''. I know you classic rock guys who've been to tweakyville, know what I'm sayin' here. Some one help me out here. I like speakers that make me want to stand up and can't control my bodily functions NOT! sit down and be in a head vice. Yes I know, I know,I want to relax to Enya( who does melt me by the way) and see the glories of heaven extending beyond my walls into the infinite too. But enough's enough OKay?

Please suggest good 3 way floorstanders, Maybe 2 way will do, that love to play loud with ease, PUNCH! me in the gut, rattle my bone marrow. It's a FEEL thing, not just an ear thing.

Thanks,

Mid Life crisis man boy

I got your Rock right here!

What? Too big for ya, girlieman?

How 'bout these monsters with dual "15's?

Still not ready for Miller Time, eh?

OK, throw a leg over these and see if it rattles last night's quiche from your bowels.

Better still, why not just add a Pardigm or Velo Servo 15 and separate your windows from their headers.

There ya go.

Ever hear of Cerwin Vega?

Ever hear of Cerwin Vega?

Definitely heard of them, but not heard them. Their website has so many on different levels, I wouldn't have a clue where to start. I guess I could call a Cerwin dealer, but sometimes that can confusing as well.

Thanks,

How much are you willing to spend to bring sound into your listening room?

How much are you willing to spend to bring sound into your listening room?

Well I guess around $1500 to $3000. I imagine I'd have to probably go the used route. In other words something that retailed more but could get a decent deal. I frankly as you can see haven't been in the floor stander realm for a bit.

Thanks

Well be careful of what you want because you might very well get it. Those speakers humbled me and made me feel weak. I didn't want to throw the baby out with the bath water.(please excuse all the puns) I can spend a little more on what these guys can to do with tad more fidelity. Although the ones mentioned could sound better than I think they would.

The Klipsch RF-7's (newer reference series) seem interesting, Pretty tall, efficient, they go low and loud. My room is too small, I think ( 14 x 11x 10) for the corner horns,

You gave great suggestions, but the're so many I would know where to start? Haven't heard those guys in ages.

Thanks for the slap I needed.

Is 170 lbs. of movie theater madness enough for you?

Or perhaps a big stack of these things? (main drivers 150 lbs. each, capable of 146 db output; subwoofers 120 lbs each)


THIS COULD BE YOUR LIVING ROOM!

I've got a set of Infinity SM 15's which have a 15' woofer, two 5 1/4, and a 1' tweeter I'm selling for $300...send me a message and there yours. I can send you photos they're in mint condition and never really been pushed like they should. I'm having to get rid of them to make room for our 1st baby. They're monsters and they will rock your socks off.

Robby,

The VR2's are clean and energetic down to about 25hz, which is plenty. Trust me, they rock. If you'd like a little more refinement along with more bass, try to find a pair of used VR4jr's. These things are astonishingly dynamic. When I demo'd them, I asked Kevin at VSA if a sub was on. No joke. The Juniors will rock as well as play jazz, vocals, and large scale orchestral music with ease. Quite a speaker, and if you like VSA's sound, you'll love these. They'll absolutely pressurize your small room.

Hope this helps.
