Logans and Heavy Metal?

I am reall interested in a pair of Aerius I's, and I like all kinds of music. From Jazz to Country, Blues to Extermely Heavy Metal. I've heard these speakers with all kinds of music except Heavy Metal. I've read that they are not that great at the hard stuff. Is this really true? Is it a listenable reproduction of the music, or is it so bad that I should avoid them? Most of my Heavy Metal listening is at work or in the car, but there are those days... These speakers will be used as home theater as well. Any comments or other recommendations are greatly appreciated.
FYI the driving amp is an Odyssey Stratos.

I love MLs. I have a pair of Monoliths--but they wouldn't even dream of doing Heavy Metal justice. You will love Jazz, Country (particularly vocals), Blues on them--but you will feel like the there's not much heavy in the metal with these speakers.

I own Quests and Aerius', and they rock with the right associated gear. Bear in mind ML's are very sensitive to set up, moving them around a little can get the desired tonal blance you're looking for. Metallica, Rage Against the Machine, The Offspring, Limp Bizkit are part of my music library and sound damned fine to me.

I think you will be disappointed, long term, with the MLs if you plan to listen to heavy metal through them. I would suggest that you do extensive listening, if you are seriousely considering them. Of course, the same is true with any speakers.
