Welcome!
Here's my two cents. . . and tempered with years of experience with the RL-1 and RL-2 and ERR models that preceded the ERRx speakers. And also a (amateur) bass player so there's that.
I think you're going to be more suited for the HR-1 speakers to be honest. I know, I know, more expensive, by twice as much really. But. . . the HR-1s have both front firing AND omni-directional speakers. I mostly listen to jazz and the next is classical, Brazilian and rock. IF I listened mostly to rock I would be disappointed in the bass impact and overall presentation of the radial speakers I've had including the ERR. The HR-1s which I have been using for six years or so. . . kick their ass on rock, no dispute. They can handle any music thrown at them. The ERRs handle acoustic instruments very well, they can be a very intimate playback machine for these, accurate and spacious in sound. But, at least for me with my gear, they don't rock out.
So I would say it all depends what you are planning to play through the speakers. If rock with strong bass content is the goal. . . I am not sure you'll be happy.
