Speakers For Rock

I am looking for speakers for rock/pop. My budget is 4000.00. I'm looking for a speaker that is good with rock, does well at the details instead of hints at them, yet at the same time is not fatiguing. The speakers I have in my main system are very good at a lot of things. However, they are not my cup of tea with the kind of music I like. They okay with poor recordings (most rock/pop). I want something that will sound killer with the poor recrodings. From reading the forums, it seems like the Von Schweikert VR 4 jrs may foot the bill. Thoughts? Thanks

I would go with the VR -4 jrs. I had them in house for about 4 months and was surprised how they play all music well. Rock came out the best and sounded deep and rich at extreme high volumes. No brightness at all compared to other speakers at twice the price. Easy to drive too.

Hmmmmm...you want to rock and a speaker that sounds good with todays rock recordings? May I suggest Neat speakers?
Very little known about them here in the US but worth seeking if rock is your thing.

Gotta agree with the Tyler Acoustics. I actually visited Ty to listen to their speakers in person. Playing Green Day's "American Idiot" through the Linbrooks just floored me. Hearing that piece through speakers this quick put a whole new and positive light on it that was an amazingly visceral experience. I had to play it over several times in a row just for pure enjoyment.
