|   Rap, R&B, Pop, Hip Hop Speaker Suggestions?? | Audio Aussie
Nov 27, 2001 1:40 PM | | I listen to mainly Rap and R&B. I am looking for 2 channel setup and sub down the road. I am looking at round $700 for the mains. Any suggestions for my music taste?? They need to have a warm sound and none of those piercing highs that penertrate your head. Although I will be adding a sub I would still like them to have some good tight bass. Well if anyone has any suggestions plz let me know. Thx
Cheers |

Good luck |

Nov 28, 2001 2:54 PM | | Hey, I'm serious about my answer. You don't need audiophile speakers to listen to rap. A boombox will do. If you were asking about jazz and classical, I would have given you a different answer. I wasn't trying to PYO. Chill out and enjoy the music. |

Nov 28, 2001 9:21 PM | | If you are looking for speakers that will handle the boom that pervades hip hop. If so you should take a look at JBL or Cerwin Vega. If your taste is more varied then your choices are wide open. Just remember you can always add a subwoofer to pick the low end. |

Dec 3, 2001 1:42 PM | | If you like the thump in your rump, go with JBL's or Cerwin Vega's or you could go with almost any speaker as long as you have a good sub-woofer. You could go cheap on the speaks and spend good money on a Sunfire or Hsu sub. Also DCM makes a good, cheap, ass-kicking speaker that I KNOW from personal experience handles, house, thrash, hip-hop, Old School R&B, Motown, Stax/Volt and have had 3 teenagers trying to blow them unsuccesfully for 6 months.
That's the skinny....
Let me know what you decide.
