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!

Call me crazy, but I listen to mostly rock and heavy music on Martin Logan ascents. They sound great to me, and 95db is no problem. That's more then loud enough for me.

Holy smokes I bet that does handle anything you throw at it Mike!

I've had 3 friends go out and but ML after hearing mine, and they all listen to rock primarily. Then again, we aren't able to come close to considering your level of system or room so....

The highs are what seem harsh to me on other speakers. I always end up wanting to turn it down, when the opposite should be going on.

The only thing I've heard that I liked better was a set of aerial 20t's connected to all the new Ayre reference stuff. Again, on another level performance and price wise as well.
