Just making a point. ---------------- I remember being in a situation like that. A friend told me I had to hear a song by Ice T & Body Count. First thing that went through my head was "Man, this is gonna suck." Turned out to be a Hendrix Tribute CD, with Ice T singing "Hey Joe". For anyone who likes Hendrix, give this a listen. The man can really sing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottscay Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 You know, rap sounds great on my rf-35 based system. Even when there is heavy distortion in rap (and not all rap has distortion), you still want the speakers to faithfully reproduce the sound as recorded on the album. Whether you like it or not, the adding of distortion (or other rap-trinsic sounds) are artistic choices, and you don't want random speaker-induced distortion added in over the choices that the artist has made. If you guys don't like rap, that's fine, but there are certainly a few string quartets by Beethoven I'd pass over to pop in an Eminem cd. Cello concertos and choral music on the other hand...

Because Klispch is good when u go high priced.. but for aruond under 200 i think other brands are more of a bang for the buck im not buying this for my computer.. its for some ppl i know. ---------------- Out of the above mentioned other than Klipsch (which you should get ofcourse). Athena isn't bad at all. Very big boom for the price. But it's seriously going to be tough to get a pair of speakers with major bass in that price range. Seriously hard. You'll have to buy used for really good bass in that price range. Me I got to have horns. When I was younger I ran cerwin vega they had loads of bass, but there a bit more than 200 I am thinking.

I want to know the best budget speakers (under 200 per pair) and the best non-budget speakers (price doesnt matter) ---------------- that a really silly question. if there was an answer, we'd ALL have the same speakers, no? now, why do you think their are so many different speaker manufacturers, with so many different offerings, out there?

Those of us who prefer Klipsch Heritage (most at least 20 years-old) prefer tham to anything new, including Klipsch. Old speakers today sound better.
