Best amps for rock and heavy metal

To keep it simple go mcintosh.. But I agree with above you will need a rather dynamic and resonable woofer surfaced speaker to do what you really want... Again mcintosh gear has a very strong flavor to take on pantera and any other edgy rock without losing the dynamic drive and getting to raw sounding.

I was listening to Metallica and Tool last night - and my system does a great job with it. I'm using Aerial 10T's and a Levinson 336 amp.

Tool has lots of very low freq information - so you want a speaker that can go low - and you will need an amp that can deliver the current to drive it and control the woofer.

Thank Audphile1 for your comments.

Electra 1027Be are my speakers. I choose it 'cos my room is too small and it's good mate for my room.
I love rock music but also love in mid and treble sounds like utopia or electra Be lines.

I want more comment about best amps for rock its!!.
My budget is about 10-15k
Now I run electra with denon AVR (130 wpc).

I'm also interest in Mcintosh MC 501. It's too sexy.
However, I read some review of this amp. Bass is fullness but response is slightly slow?
