I listen primarily to large symphonic works as well as chamber music and solo piano some female jaz vocals. The metal music I have and listen to on rare occasions is Slipknot, Korn, Skillet and My Chemical Romance also enjoy Nirvna. The only short coming of the speakers is their inability to reach deeply into the low frequencie range as one would expect given their size, however for what they are they do an admirable job. Patricia Barber on half speed master vinyl is simply stunning. The metal bands mentioned above sound very good given the limitations of the speakers low fequency response. The most I can say is that the speakers do not add to any distortion outside of what the instruments/musicians are creating/playing.
Some say that class A topology can sound slow and sluggish which maybe true but Focal speakers are fast clean and detailed and along with the silver cabeling sound fantastic.
Good Luck in your decision making.
