Rap music on high-end speakers

Easy people.
My Bose response was a joke.
I guess it buzzed most of you.
Who care's what you listen to.

Whether or not someone likes or dislikes hip/hop really isn't the point. It has always been my opinion that audiogon was a discussion forum dedicated to helping people maximize their enjoyment of music and their systems. What upsets me about some of the responses is their incredibly dismissive tone. How many of the replies were actually intended to be helpful? Just because you don't like something doesn't give you the right to publicly crap on someone else's choices. If you think this message is addressed at you, then it probably is.

I would recommend a pair of the big Montana's. I have some Nova Audio Rendition's but you rarely see them used. I don't listen to rap but they really rock on techno. The neighbors flee when I play either the Propellorheads or Beethoven's Ninth. Very tight bass with either.

Tru, I own Thiel 1.5s and a REL Strata III and put in the Bob Marley box set disc 4 right after my other two favorite albums when I got them. Sent shivers up my spine. It's not rap but reggae leaves a bad taste in most audiophile's mouths too (I get made fun of for listening to reggae on my system on a regular basis). It's also not high-fidelilty considering when it was recorded. But, Bob's voice, the background singers, and the instruments sounded alive. One of my Alpha Blondy CDs is particularly well recorded. The little "pop" rap that I own also sounds great on them. Hope that helps.
BTW, I wouldn't even respond to anyone picking on your musical taste unless you need some stress relief.

Tru,

You should try the Linn Komri speakers. They'll rock da' house!
