Speakers for Heavy Metal


I currently have a pair of Odyssey Lorelei speakers and they are a bit thin sounding with metal.  I'd like something a little beafier and warm.  I'm driving them with a Pass X150.5 and a Metrum Hex DAC.  Any thoughts on something below 2k that doesn't require a subwoofer?

Which metal artists are you guys listening to...?

If you can stretch your budget a little further then I can thoroughly recommend Tannoy DC10T. These are made to rock...& I don't mean just with weak-ass metal; these perform great with Nile, Gorguts, Beneath The Massacre, Origin, Melvins et al.

They drop to 30Hz so can easily handle some of the low frequencies dropped into tracks by bands like Animals As Leaders, The Flying Luttenbachers, The Locust...etc.
