What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker?

I know totally blasphemy question here on Audiogon. But you like what you like, right? Anyway, I know most metal music is totally compressed and recorded horrible (aka Metallica) however there is a new age of metal bands out there that are starting to change that (Opeth started with Blackwater Park). So what speakers out there can take the pounding of a double bass drum kit hitting at full throttle and give the roar of metal guitar justice. There has to be a set up that would make Glen Tipton turn his head and say hell ya!

Update - Not enough room to get rid of the Arro's. Thinking Forest or Forest Signature. Still - Playing my ripped DVD Maiden - A Matter of Life and Death and it sounds okay. Not vinyl, but I'm a little too tanked to trust myself to get into the Iron Maiden vinyl.

whichever your direction, get a beast of a sub to control the low and bass drum.

That's about the right price for those Cerwins. I wouldn't pay any more for them. Glad you found something you like, you could have done a lot worse. I say the JBL Studio L890s for $800 (at several online dealers) are the better speaker, but the Cerwins are fine for all intense purposes. Either way, Rock on.

spend some $ on a Mac preamp with 5-7 bands of tone controls so you can fix ....
how big is that 7 hz waveform anyway ?
we sold a lot of ADS and JBL product including pro jbl stuff into community light and sound cabinets...
you might also get your hearing tested...before..

I've always admired McInotsh preamps for their plethora of features. I haven't heard the latest one, the C52, but it's probably a barn burner.
