dedicated 70's rock system

I want a system dedicated to mostly poorly recorded 70's rock music that can draw me into the music rather than repel me by the inherent edginess etc. when played through many a high end system....the system is to be dedicated to cd reissues only, can be used or new equipment...total system price shall not exceed ten thousand dollars, in a dedicated room roughly 25' x15'...only one special request, the sound must be full at moderate volumes and not just at "rock appropriate" volumes....thank you!

Sorry but you can do much better than Cerwin V's...
How about a cleaned-up Marantz 2270 receiver (I'll take the midrange control of the Marantz over the more popular Sansui) and 2 pair of original Advents stacked? or a modded Dahlquist DQ-10's and a sub? or JBL Jubals or L-150, L-166.
Altec 19: great idea, rarely available, hard to ship. Same with JBL L-300.
More fun with a turntable than cd.. Rega P-2 to start with.

Tvad, you may have nailed it with the Klipsch corner horns. I have replicas, and they certainly have full sound at any level. And not harsh in the high frequencies, which seems to be the bad about 70 rock cds. Just make sure everything in the room is nailed down in your room before you crank them.
