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!

Atmosphere, very cool!

I would think you and the mellotron to be a natural pairing.

Atmasphere, yea, I know, I was saying the bubble bee song on keyboards or piano, my band back in the day played original's, however, for cover tune's we played Dream Theatre, we had a good following, a semi big, on the verge of big time, offered marriage to a model that was the demise of it all for me!, same ole story, the relationship did not go that way, the band parted way's, one guy was from sweden, everyone else was from all over the usa, we were base out of Florida, cheers.

They have a nice bass response and pretty good mids.

Thinking of trying the Cerwin-Vega CLS-215 to hold me over until my budget can afford 5000$ plus speakers. What do you guys think?
