What speakers work best with electronic music?

I'm also a big fan of electronic music of all kinds. I would look into some active speakers. I had Quad 12L Actives, and was amazed at the dynamic speed they had. Without a passive crossover to rob the power and speed (attack/decay), they are explosive in nature.

I sold them when I got my current setup done - Mirage OMD-28s with dual subs and lots of class-d power. But I would seriously consider looking at actives. PTE Speakers or Meridian.

Col -

both Dynaudio & Focal/JM labs are excellent speakers for tronica music.

I have to disagree. If we're talking 80's synth pop "electronica,' then sure, Dynaudio or Focal are great. More so with Dynaudio, the speakers are a little too colored to really bring out the explosive nature of modern day electronic music. The sig sound that can be found throughout the entire Dynaudio line seems to make "conventional" music sound great, and in doing so, fails to bring out the "unnatural" nature of electronica.

dynaudio speakers "too colored"...well i have to disagree with that...i found sonus faber, harbeth, bowers colored...dyns one of most natural speakers ive heard and differently sounding with different amps and cabling...true to the source...ofcourse they pushing natural instruments better than electro...and btw Colonel when you mention sig sound on entire dyn line i ask you with which exact models of dyn speakers you spend time to conclude that and with which amps, source and cabling...cuz we definitively have different experience...regards...

160, 380, C1, C2. When I say colored, I mean slightly warm. They are def a slightly warm speaker. And when I say sound signature, I mean the warmth as well. I found the entire Dyn line, that I heard, to be all be very similar sounding. each step up with the same as the one below, just a bit better. They're absolutely enjoyable speakers, but not critical in the least.

"slightly warm"...well thats a different story...on the warm side of the neutral at most...if i would grade warmth sounus fabers(serblin models) would be 4/5 ,dyns would be 1/5...more smooth and delicate sound than warm but thats just me...when i tested karan ka i-180mk2 on my focus speakers with cardas cabling that was warm sound and with half of details, soundstage, resolution, control of gryphon, crystals combo...not my cup of tea becuz rock/metal and other agressive music diddnt sound as convincing and natural as on a neutral non colored amps and cabling...what im tryin to say is that speakers are so sensitive and can sound from smooth to harsh, dark to bright, warm or analythical depending on rest of the system not by its coloration...they like to get out of way...but if you lost the faith that dyns can push electro in your way there is allways PMC speakers :) but in my experience with dyns you need to feed that speakers with much better and stronger amp and play with a different cables even power chords to find what suits you best...and you will be suprised...i wish you live closer to my place to hear how good produced electronica sounds on my system :)...
