I did not found this topic so I hope it was not discussed somewhere, but I would like to know opinions (because this is what they are i am not trying to find the BEST) about from own experiences what system you would recommand for specific kind of music.
For example which speaker design for :
CLASSICAL CHAMBER MUSIC
BIG ORCHESTRA
JAZZ
BLUES
HEAVY METAL
PUNK ROCK/HARDCORE
POP
FOLK
LATIN
ELECTRO
HIPHOP
CHORUS
I tried to cover style by frequencies i am open to changes. Mono vs Stereo can also be in the answers, but it's not the main point. There will be a full rangef against multi way but even in multi way there will be sub genre as there is sub genre in music.
For example as my nickname suggest in this forum, I have been in love with listening to Time out Take five with caisson RJ from supravox. I will not state it is the best, but the overall listening experience is fantastic for me (this picture is not from me).

A good system might handle all types well.. but there are many ways to make a speaker.
These 3-2way horns handle it all with aplomb:
They're not Klipsch LaScala, but my own design inspired by them, with a frequency response of +/- 3db from 20Hz to 20kHz

Old Spendor SP series is wonderful with Opera , voices and low resolution classical ( thats how it supposed to be heard ) Big MBL if you can afford $1 mil will handle big scale but not rock. Nothing built nowadays as a higher end speakers handles rock including most of DIY . It's all " wedding band category " not offending neighbors crappola . Most speakers are built for synthetic pop and easy listening to chirping details . It offers dead homogenized sound but it's well balanced and proper and it has nice spatial effects. After a year ( at most ) to listening to this most people is ready to " upgrade " to next model which has more chirping sounds coming out. I'd take a well regarded vintage or modern full range for bedroom sized room and PA derived system for living room for my needs . I would get a regular box only for it's ability to be made in piano black finish. If you're around 80 the sorts of magnepan , and stats may suit. My taste in music varies and I like it rough when I know it should be rough and while the smooth part is somewhat achievable and desirable nobody can do rough part anymore or both simultaneously.
