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


Not to dig at the genre although I’m not a fan, does Heavy Metal music benefit from an higher resolution systems? I’m not talking about comparing to a cheap box store system, rather, would one benefit moving from an audiophile quality $5-10k to a $100k+system?

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
