What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker?

Wow thanks for the suggestions, there is a lot of good advice in this posting. My budget is 3000$ and I have already tried the Klipsch rf7, Energy Veritas 2.4i, and grew up with JBLs on a Phase Linear system. Picked up some JBL Studio 530 bookshelf speakers for a seperate system and I am really impressed with horn tweeter in this series of speakers. Really be interested in hearing what the 590 towers would sound like, I know they would be better than the Klipsh. Find myself curious with Dali Evendence 870 with the soft tweeter design and two 8" woofers also. Someone here in Seattle has some for sale for less than a thousand bucks. What about NHT? 3.3 maybe?

Embenetto... I know I am so tired of the hifi world being so critical and frankly I think mainstream music lovers out there are too. Hifi is suffering from lack of sales and poor economy and a lot of the products are either way out of reach or complete sh*t. Where are the working man’s sound systems of the 70s and 80s? Does it really take 100,000$ for a rockin system that is clear, powerful and without serious limitations? We live in a new world dominated in techonolgy and yet have to suffer through crap sound? Are we not going backwards in the audio world when a AVR is judge more on its internet connectivity rather than the sound it produces? WTF. LOL

Mapman- you are right about good Amplification. I have two Bel Canto evo2 gen. ii amps I am using as mono blocks to give me the juice I need to keep the clipping on the down low. Like to get my hands on the Odyessy Stratos amps though, they will handle a two ohm load.

Surprisingly, I am finding it difficult to find an excellent heavy metal speaker. There are a lot of great speakers out there, but so far I can’t find a speaker that has these qualities:
1(Fast deep Bass, however not too over powering or boomy
2)Treble smooth and accurate that defines the lead guitars accurately without a brash blur of distortion.
3)Treble that lays the drummers symbols on top nicely to the rest of rhythm
4)A midrange that gives the vocals a clean but not harsh edge.
5)Good separation of the different instruments playing in the music
6)Good live sound, if you know what I mean.

I am slowly picking through the different suggestions here on the form and I know there is a lot more than just the speakers to achieve good sounding system. I have been also playing around with my listing room acoustic and narrow down a better sound. I am enjoying my search though, lol.

Mikelavigne those speakers do look impressive!

Thinking of trying the Cerwin-Vega CLS-215 to hold me over until my budget can afford 5000$ plus speakers. What do you guys think?

So funds have been short this year so I had to scale down the speakers I wanted to try. However, I picked up a pair of Cerwin Vega xls-215 for 800$, brand new, (fell off a truck kind of deal, lol). Have them hooked up to a pair of Bel Canto EVo2 mono blocked and man do they rock. My audio friends and I are really surprised at how well these speakers perform. Even with the huge woofers they are very dynamic and have great soundstage as well. Silk dome tweeters are made for heavy guitar tones and no shrill like you get from Klipsh horns. First pair of non Audiophile speakers and have to say they really compare to much higher end stuff out there. Perfect party speaker and get as loud as you can take it with no complaints.

Yeah I have looked into Golden Ear's Triton series of speakers too, not bad, but the specs look like they are made for home theater.  Better version of Definitive Audio stuff.  
  
So I have up graded some of my hardware the last few years and still looking for a speaker that is high quality that is less than $10,000.  Upgrades are as follows:

Krell 4k UHD Foundation preamp.  (Makes CDs sound sooooo much better and my Blu-ray concerts never sounded better).  Does a great job with Analog stuff too.  Really happy with this preamp, does just about everything really well. 

Parasound A21 amplifier to deliver some good power

Re-caped my Bel Canto Evo2 amps

VPI Scout turntable with AT150sa cart


However, speakers have been difficult to nail down, been through Klipsch RF-7 II, JBL LSR and studio 590, Energy Veritas 2.4I, and Cerwin Vega XLS-215.  Surprisingly the Cerwin Vega XLS-215 have been the winner but like most on here I am always looking to take things to the next level.  Might upgrade the crossovers in the Vegas' to see if I can get better sound, they are made of cheap parts.  I have been doing a lot of research lately in creating my own speakers with quality parts to meet my musical tastes.  Since most speaker manufactures are aimed at customers that want smaller speakers and the look of an art piece, I figured I would have to step up and build them myself.   I am very surprised in my research that I haven't found someone else in this pursuit of the perfect heavy metal, classic rock speaker and has created their own.  There are a lot of great speakers out there for sale in the $80,000 price level that would be what I am looking for, but unless I win the lotto those prices will be always out of reach for a working class guy like me.  So I am off to beg, barrow, and steal a great design to do it myself.     

   

Dep14 thank you very much for the great info.

Couple of you guys on here have mention the Tekton speakers. I am digging the design and sound these speakers are trying to make. Seems right up my alley for the sound I am trying to get my hands on. Not too mention they are within reasonable budget limits. I am going to do my research and try to find full break down specs of these speakers. For example, who makes their drivers, see the crossover design, what parts they are using in the crossovers, are the woofers in cast or stamp steel baskets, what material are the woofer cones made out of (looks like paper or some hybrid), how they brace their enclosures, what is the enclosure made out of, ect. For $3000 I am not expecting the very best components out there, but I have seen some designs done really well with budget components if the designer has done his homework. Anyone that owns these speakers break them down yet?
