Im looking for Speakers/Sub to play rap mostly

I usually don't like to characterize a certain speaker as better than another for certain types of music, but there are rhythmic, dynamic and tonal considerations that could shade a speaker as less suitable for for a given music style. Basically any speaker that would sound good on rock will sound good on rap. Search the archives, it's been a well discussed topic.

If you want to hear it the way they listen to it in the recording studio, I suggest the following:

Dynaudio M1.5 or M2 (click on the link for Model Overview and scroll thru the PDF0
PMC EB1i - there's a pair listed on Audiogon
Quested VH3208

Along more traditional audiophile lines I think your Legacy idea would work. Also certain models from Wilson, NHT, VMPS, Revel and Zu could be considered.

If you're serious about the really frickin' loud, then seriously consider the pro models. There's consumer loud (105-110dB) and then there's pro loud (120-125dB). That's more than twice as loud what most people think of as really loud.

Let us know what you end up with.

thanks I have to say this wasnt quite taken as I meant, Pro audio is a whole differenct ball game. Im just looking for some speakers and subs that can handle some serious bass without distoring

If you need bass, then get a subwoofer or two, in my opinion. The monitors can be whatever.

As one who manufactures both home audio and pro audio speakers, and does so with pro audio drivers, in my opinion they are not necessarily whole different ballgames.

One reason to consider speakers that use prosound-type components for demanding home audio use is the freedom from thermal compression. Thermal compression occurs as the voice coils heat up and the resistance rises, and can rob speakers of two or three decibels on peaks. This compression of the peaks reduces the liveliness and emotion that should be in the music, because musicians use dynamic contrast to convey emotion. Typically mild thermal compression sets in at about 1/10th the rated power, and by the time we get to 1/2 the rated power it's pretty severe. By using drivers that will be seeing less than 1/10th their rated power under home audio conditions, we preserve the liveliness in the music.

However if you do not want prosound components, the Legacys you mention are a good candidate.

Like most pop oriented music rap doesn't really have much deep bass (sub 40Hz) so subwoofers aren't really necessary. As said above by Audiokinesis there really is not that much of a difference between home and pro requirements. What differences that do exist (robustness, volume output, low distortion) favor the pro side. The better home speakers can do subtlety and refinement better. Rap music isn't about subtlety and you said you wanted something frickin' loud. Do the math and see how it adds up.
