Does Heavy Metal music benefit from a high end audio system?

@ allenf1963

I appreciate the recommendation. However I must disagree that it was the beginning of Heavy metal. Zep & Sabbath are generally known as the beginning  (1969). But IMO, Iron Butterfly  was HM and were playing before Zep & Sabbath. And I'm sure there were others. That said, in the '60's & early 70's the genre was mostly known as hard Rock hard. There was lots of hard rock too with too many artists to mention. IMO, HM is not easily defined, especially in the 60's & 70's. IE, where does hard rock end and HM begin?

A whole thread explaining metal to republicans. Gonna be sick

I listen to Classical about 99%.  The other listening is mainly 60s/70s pop or Classic Rock.  Most of the pop music sounds just fine to me on a lower end system.  The good producers of the day mixed and conceived the tunes thinking that the listener would be using AM radio in a car or a cheap transistor.  Even if I BT the Shirelles or some Phil Spector production from my phone to a mid Fi system it’s still a massive increase in SQ compared to what I used back in the day.  If I listen to such fare on my best system it sounds like overkill, like driving an expensive car in the driveway 

No.
