Speakers that accurately reproduce a drumset

Finesse at the loudest and quietest passages are, for me the most important elements of reproducing traps convincingly. The three systems that I have found most convincing were tubed, and contained Wilson Watt/Puppy 7s.

Ditto on the Avantgarde Duos.

An extremely tall order to ask of any rig! To recreate a full drum kit at anywhere near live concert levels, you had better have a very good room as well.In my experience...Planars are commendable but really don't have a chance, further more: as Stehno alluded to,You better have a top shelf amplifier to get even a reasonable facsimilee of the drum kit.Bob said it best..BIG well designed horn loaded speakers will get you the closest.

I had a pair of Altec VOTT's. Did the best for drum reproduction I've ever heard. You lost a little on composure, but you had force and speed galore. Did'nt play below 60 hz though. But 70 to 100 was in full attendance. at about 107db you could not go wrong with just about anything to run them.

I can't help but think getting recordings that accurately reproduces drums is probably a bigger challange. That said the Wilsons with the right amps in the right room might do it.
