Young audiophile metal head looking to level up speaker choice

wow - everyone here rules and for someone just getting into this hobby a very much appreciate the community and direction here ...

Room treatment is inevitable.  Part of the audiophile journey and will probably accompany upgrades in my system/speakers...

Thanks for the Legacy recommendation.  Looking into a pair right now.  Very much appreciated.  I think those brands also give me room to grow over the years.  Doing lots of research as we speak.  I think the ATC would be another brand to look into as I get older and my disposable income increases (crosses fingers).

For your money and impact. As well as Great quality value 

Clayton Shaws new Speaker for $3k a No 🧠 Brainer 

it’s a open baffle speaker Pretty efficient and superb bass Speed and impact
