Rap music on high-end speakers


Hello,

I have audiophile taste in gear, but not in music. I listen to rap music, and occansionaly R&B. Is there anyone out there like me? What do you listen for when buying gear? I was wondering what are the benefits in getting better gear? I want to upgrade the speakers to either proac response 3.8 or wilson cubs. Here is my system:

Levinson No.23
aranov ls-9000
Platinum audio reference 2
Paradigm servo 15
kimber speaker wire
esoteric component wires
amc cdm7
tru
I was wondering if anyone out there could recommend a good model Wolf Stove, I will be using it mainly to reheat condensed Campbell Soups and an occasional pack of Top Ramen.
Tru, How are you doing? I have done business with Tru and he came over and bought some gear from me. I was surprised to see another person with this kind of taste in gear listen to rap. I listen to some rap, and I have very nice, expensive gear. You stuck up audiophiles need to know that music is music no matter what kind it is. Just because it isnt the same music that you listen to doesnt mean that it is wrong. Hey Albert are you making fun of TRU's audiogon name. TRU happens to be a group from the multi platinum selling company no limit records. I read your bio and I thought you had more class. I guess not. I am just glad that their is still some audiophiles that like to share positive comments with each other, no matter what their taste in music or gear is.
if you really listen to rap then buy some cerwin vegas. dont they have woofers as big as a truck. i hope you do not live close to me. it is also true 801 b&ws will take your head off with bass.
Justlisten,

Why cant you keep your stupid comments to yourself. I dont mind criticism, but do you have to be so cocky about it. Come on, arent you a grown-up. Please if you have just rude comments dont post them up. If you have real suggestions or advice let me know. Kirk930, About the Cerwin Vega's, they sound like garbage. They do produce a lot of bass, but most or all of it is just boom. Rap music is not all about bass. I dont even like the loud boomy bass. I like the bass to be tight and fast. I listened to the B&W's, and thought they sounded pretty good. thanks for the comments. I hope to see more
Tru- Sorry if I came across as offensive, I thought you were kidding. If you want highs in your eyes and bass in your face, go for some Klipsch speakers, and use your sub, that would give you the sound you are looking for-I think?? And the only reason they use good gear to record that stuff and to play it back on in studios is that is what is already there, they are not going to make there own 'thug' recording studio. If there was a cheaper way for them to do it I am sure they would. Enjoy it!
