What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker?


I know totally blasphemy question here on Audiogon. But you like what you like, right? Anyway, I know most metal music is totally compressed and recorded horrible (aka Metallica) however there is a new age of metal bands out there that are starting to change that (Opeth started with Blackwater Park). So what speakers out there can take the pounding of a double bass drum kit hitting at full throttle and give the roar of metal guitar justice. There has to be a set up that would make Glen Tipton turn his head and say hell ya!

In a small room a pair of Ohm Walsh 2s and restored Phase Linear 700B rocked my house when I played the Metallica Mexico City Blu Ray some years ago.

Another speaker that did well when I played all sorts of Metal for me were KEF 104/2 speakers with a McCormack DNA-1 Deluxe amp.
