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!

I am a huge metal and heavy rock fan, among other music vices :) I enjoy Opeth, Entombed, Amorphis, Slayer, Rage Against the Machine, all the way to Norah Jones, KT Tunstall, and Andreas Vollenwieder. Music comes in many flavors, no need to be pidgeon-holed!

I highly suggest a pair of Revel f30s for the budget you have, or a pair of m20s and a pair of good subs, preferably servo (maybe old Velodyne). The nice thing is that you can crank these things way up, they take abuse, but still sound nice. AND parts are still available if you get a little crazy.

For the money invested, you won't beat what you hear.
