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

Lots of snarky comments and snobbery as expected in an audiophile forum when word "metal" is uttered but it's unnecessary and down right childish to s..t on someone else music. Those of you that do, go to your bazillion dollar system and listen to your three records that sound good and be happy. Moving on...... Any and all music or even non-music will benefit from a hifi system. I don't care if you listen to fart noises, it will sound "better" on a hifi system. Most of metal AND rock music is not well recorded, that's common knowledge. It doesn't mean i can't have a hi end (to me) stereo, does it? Frankly the whole premise is strange to me.

An audio system should do justice to any type of music played. If not something is off. And rock music and metal are not inferior recordings many metal and rock acts used much care in mastering. As with all types of music bad recordings exist.

the only thing heavy metal doesn't benefit from are republicans.

Thanks for the link featuring Black Sabbath! I know you cant tell much from a youtube feed, but I thought it sounded terrible. Hollow and shouty. Other than dynamics it was a bust IMO.

I suppose since no system is perfect, I think you would need a uniquely tuned system for every different genre. I finally put together a system that I can say sounds fantastic with any genre....except heavy metal.  I'm talking new heavy metal and maybe only some.  Classics like zeppelin etc sound great, but I would call that metal, not heavy metal. 

My brother visited and wanted to hear some music that I never heard(heavy metal) and it sounded embarrassing.  My thought was my system is musical and resolving(maybe even laid back?) and the recording engineer for these songs wanted noise and peaks on the VU meter?

I am a fan of all music but in my reference system, the tracks we played sounded underwhelming and one dimensional, thin, no bass weight, fatiguing, etc.  All good cuts from tidal btw.  My system still shocks me on how good everything sounds because it has a truthful sound.

Don't intend to talk you out of buying high end gear, just the opposite, you can ALWAYS upgrade your sound system to your liking.  Just needs to be tailored to heavy metal to get the magic the same way someone would add a sub if they are listening to pipe organs, or a horn speaker for vocals, etc...My experience..
