Please recommend speakers that will rock with Bottlehead Paramours

Posted by Pfenning on May 31, 2005 at 21:13:59

Which speakers will rock out with Paramours? My first HE speakers were Bottlehead Whamodynes, they are great for the money, but I felt like it could get better. My current speakers are Fostex FE206, and they do some things very well, but they are not speakers for rock music. I'm thinking I want a speaker that will get down to 80-100hz with no problem, and if I can get somthing that will go lower it would be great. I do have 2 subs I can use in stereo below 100hz to fill in if needed. I'm stuck in Nebraska and most people look at me weird when I ask if they have any HE speakers, so I'm forced to lurk on web sites for ideas. I've read about Hammer dynamics (never heard them), Straight 8's (although tough to find on the used market), and Altecs (seem hard to find a good pair and there's so many different models to choose from it's confusing to me). I perfer DIY as it lets me stretch my dollar farther. I haven't detirmined my budget yet, I just want to make the right choice this time so I can focus on other areas of my system. Size makes no difference to me, I have a large room that is 24' wide (across the front) by 14' deep (front to back), and my wife doesn't care what I get for speakers. I'm always looking for the best bang for the buck, but don't let that hold back on suggestions. Thanks.
