New audiophile looking for first speakers. HELP

Hey guys,
I am looking for a good pair of speakers for my first audiophile system. Right now I have a Stanton ST-150 table running through a Mackie mixer running into 2 Behringer Truth 8" studio monitors with a 10" KRK sub. I am looking to begin building my first audiophile system. I am mainly focusing on vinyl, and maybe get into cds later on. So far this is the equipment that I have decided on:
Mesa Boogie Baron Amp
Rogue Audio Metis Preamp

I will probably keep my turntable for a bit but, I have considered a Clearaudio emotion.

I have NO idea what speakers would be a good fit.

Mainly, I will be listening to aggressive metal ie. black/death metal. Also some electronica, rock, and classical stuff. Mainly aggressive stuff with pretty wide frequency ranges.
Please give me any suggestions possible. Thanks in advance guys.

The requirement for great power but also finesse (death metal & classical) is a tough one within your budget constraints.

My suggestions are the Altec Model 14 and Model 19, and the JBL Model 4430 studio monitor. In my opinion any of these will significantly outperform their dollar-equivalent in new speakers for your application.
