Budget system for Rock and dance Music?

Hi there guys as much as I love my Luxman/harbeth combo for jazz and strings and vocals, sometimes I feel iam missing the dynamics i love from Rock music and some techno why not when I am in the mood to work out or feeling good evening.

Instead of starting all over I might can put together a second system in budget where I can spin this kind of music from Metallica, Iron Maiden etc, plus techno.

I am music lover as far as it can seems Ella F from DJ Tiesto,
its all about the music and the mood for the moment,
highly appreciated!

budget 1500 for amp and speakers,

regards and Buon Weekend!

I second Elevick's recommendation for Heresy's. You can match them with just about any amp-from a old classic NAD to a modern tube amp. They are very efficient, have great bass response and play loud. Rock on.

The Heresys have great bass dynamics but roll off early. Used Fortes (I or II) would be better, but more expensive.

OHM Walsh speakers and a 120 watt/ch or greater Class D amp is the ticket. Case closed. Exact model and cost will depend on room size and bass needs. 80w/ch or greater NAD amp would be another good option.

New Klipsch RF-82($1200)retail and a used Denon DRA-CX3($500-$600). With a discount on the Klipsch $1500 is possible.

A solid +1 to Mapman's suggestion above.

I was able to score a very nice pair of Ohm Walsh 2 speakers and when I paired them with a Class D Audio SDS-224 amp the music was awesome. I was playing various Heavy Metal and Hard Rock in my basement (I just got tired of all the Christmas music) and I was amazed The sound was clear even from 15ft away, imaging was great and music was very open.

The Class D Audio amp I have puts out 120 watts into 4 Ohms and it really does well with the Ohm Walsh 2s. It is definitely case closed for me.
