I can speak to the Def Leppard part. I just got some 60's a while back. I went out and bought some new cd's. The results were that the new Nine Inch Nails cd has a HORRIBLE sound. Lots of static and garbage. The same with Marilyn Mansons greatest hits. NOT the cd's to check out sound quality. I then put on Def Leppards greatest hits, and crnaked it REAL loud. It sounded GREAT! You will be very happy with their sound on 60's. I also have a pretty strong amp and was driving them hard. Can't speak to Journey, not really a fan.
