Some of the Best speakers for Prog Rock/Metal

Hi guys,

I'm in the hunt for speakers, preferably floorstanders, that would be best suited for progressive rock/metal. Common bands I listen to, to name a few, are: Opeth, Tool, Agalloch, Kamelot, Dark Tranquillity, Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree, Nightwish, etc. If any of you know some of these bands, you know that they're not just balls out metal, but they have a lot more intricacies to them as well.

I honestly don't even know where to begin in the search for speakers that would be best for this. I do know that I plan on getting a tube CDP and tube amps to go with whatever speakers. So, list out some speakers/brands that would be great for this. At this point, don't worry about budget, just nothing above the $8-10K range.

I listen to bands such as Soulfly, Hedfirst, Kaliban,Vesania,
Eterna and Chaosbreed to name a few through my KCS Oris 150' horns c/w with 18" bass cones, they really rock the room, and go deep enough. They go very cheap when advertised on here.
I would also agree to check out the Audiokinesis models. I heard the (stormbringer)?, pump out really nice sounds of that pop band 'Rammstein' and quite loud too at the 2007 Denver show, they too rocked.
Classic Audio Reproductions were excellent also at the show in the large room on the ground floor.
