I have ML Sequel II's and often play heavy metal through them and they do fine. First, I do not assume that Metal is only listened to at very high volumes. Tool and Rage and other metal sound great at medium volumes, low volumes, and high volumes as well. The ML's lack the "impact" that you will get with a cone speaker, but only at high volumes, they still sound good at other volumes and can really push the sound into the room. In terms of power, you won't need a huge amp unless you want to play your metal very loud, and then you will need over 200 watts per channel. But that's no different than any other kind of music, no matter what you want to crank, the ML's wont do it without gobs of power.
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.
