My taste in music runs along the loud and obnoxious line, like Metallica, Tool and Static X.
I like it LOUD in my mancave.
I have an Emotiva UMC-1 Pre/Pro and a Sunfire amp 5x200 WPC.
My current primary speakers are Polk RTi12's. I have owned Polk a few times in my life and while they're a decent speaker for the price I am having great difficulty in over-driving them, which is to say that I routinely have to replace drivers because I over-drive them.
I have been into rock music and stereo gear since the 70's and it seems to me that speakers produced today are majorly inferior to speakers from back in the day. I had a set of KENWOOD KL-777 speakers that could melt the paint off the walls and never even blink. My Polks fail probably twice a year or more and I'm down until I can get replacement drivers.
I've had Cerwin Vegas in the past and certainly they could take everything I threw at them too but I understand that with them also the newer product line is whimpy.
So I'm wondering is there is a speaker that can take excessive driving without fail, preferrably a tower speaker?
