I have gone though literally dozens of speakers the past 15 years.
Wilson Sophia 1& 2, Piega, Merlin, harbeth, Focus audio, Revel and even Tritons... If you want to do heavy metal you need a big woofer, and a big speaker - I currently have a pair of Cornscala speakers they are a more modern approach to the klipsch Cornwall. If you can fit them in you decor, then I would suggest a pair of used Cornwalls. You can pick them up used for around $1000. If you don't like em you can resell them for no loss. Don't listen to people who knock them - most haven't herd a properly set up pair. You won't be disappointed....
