Listen to mostly various extreme metal bands; defeated sanity, archspire, blood incantation, paysage de hiver, cobalt, etc. Looking for a faster sound bookshelf speaker. Right now running BW cm s2s with a rogue sphinx and an svs 3000sb. I have a lot of fun with this system, but I'm wondering if I can take it up a level. Heard the fortes, but for this room I have to stick with bookshelf speakers. Ls50 didn't do it for me and dynaudio sounded muted with the sphinx too. Would like to stay under 2k so I can build out my second system tho. Dac is schiit multi bit.
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!
