Hello everyone, been listening to lots of great speakers and have come up with a few favorites in my price range ($2000US): the 22L, RS8, and CS1.6. These have been the best to my ear for soundstage and clarity. Unfortunately, they didn't seem to handle rock/metal recordings - especially at louder volumes. I realize this music is probably not the best recording-wise but I definitely want speakers that will handle it. I'm trying to narrow the field a bit before doing some home demos (I'm not sure why because I am having a great time searching) so I'm looking for some comments on these and others which might be better suited for heavier music. My listening is 50% rock, 20% metal, 20% jazz, 10% other stuff. Has anybody had similar experience with the above mentioned speakers? From what I have heard and read PSB, Paradigm, B&W, Klipsch might rock out a little more - in general.
I am using an Adcom GFA-555II and GTP 500II for power although haven't been able to audition anything with these yet. It seems Adcom dealers are few and far between these days. Closest was probably a Rotel (forgot the model) amp with similar power.
Would appreciate any and all comments, love the learning process!

Thanks
