What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker?

I mixed a show a couple of years ago for Julian Lage with his trio of Kenny Wolleson and Scott Colley, and was blown away by these guys. Since then they've released 2 albums of that trio, and another of a live show in L.A. available as a download. The Recent Nels Kline 4 also features Lage and Colly, and I only mention these things as examples of otherwise jazzy, sophisticated, cerebral and brilliant musicians absolutely kicking the gonzagas out of some real interesting music. This stuff can light up a great system and wake up the subwoofers and your neighbors.

How about my Altec Stonehenge 1's from 1973? If not those, then my Altec Santana1's or my JBL 166's! Play it LOUD!

Outstanding for rock, techno, prog-rock, etc...;

- Legacy Focus 20/20 if you are looking used and low budget
- Legacy Focus HD if you are looking used and slightly more budget
- Legacy Focus SE, used or new, under $15K if memory serves on new price
- Legacy AERIS with Wavelet used is under $15K and is outstanding...

All these will move your walls and let you feel and hear the greatest rock material out there and so much more....Focus SE and AERIS are the 2 best....

Great thread.   I'm still looking for a the right metal speaker.   Just wanted to chime in that I posted/lurked here many years ago and read lots of suggestions for Klipsch Heritage.   My current Dali speakers are great,  ive kept them for 10 years and I can't see parting with them.
 But as mentioned in other posts... well recorded metal just brings them to their knees.   They are a wonderful speaker but it is obvious they were not voiced with hard rock or metal in mind. 

Anyway, I tried the Klipsch Quartets.   Ebay find with the Crites midrange mod.  Overall, they are pretty nice, yes they do "rock", they will literally shake the walls with my Mcintosh 6900. They are a fun speaker.  They are great for what they do, but overall a bit unrefined for my taste. I lived with them for about a year, and I believe I don't care for the horn sound,  not that it is bad, its just its own thing. Its very forward, subtle is not a word I would use, I see why people like them, just not for me.   

I think there is WAY more to a good metal speaker than just being able to "rock" or shake the walls or whatever. Being loud doesn't mean it sounds good.  Details and dynamics, tight bass, clear smooth highs... served with a massive helping of metal guitar punch in the gut.   I'm starting to wonder at what price point do you get there..  ?
