What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker?

I listen to a lot of metal. Some conventional speakers do metal ok, but I think there's a reason they use big horns at rock concerts. The best sounding metal I've ever heard was recorded music (Alice In Chains) coming out of big JBL Horns before an Ozzy concert. Outdoors!

I don't agree that speakers that excel at full-scale orchestral will also excel with metal. Especially current metal, highly compressed and recorded digitally. Even during sustained crescendos, metal is full of textures and sharp transients. Not many speaker/amplifier combinations can deliver sustained high sound pressure and also maintain those transients.

Atmasphere, I've been thinking about your always thoughtful comments, and I think you're missing something. I know that you are using the top of the line Classic Audio speaker, which is a design that I've admired several times at RMAF, particularly for small group jazz recordings and vocals. However, I would not regard it as an optimal transducer for digitally recorded, highly compressed metal in its current incarnation. For Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and other 70's metal and hard rock, it would be a nice speaker choice, but certainly not for Meshuggah, Animals As Leaders, and countless other current artists. If you are ever in Tucson, AZ, I'd be glad to show you what I mean.

Mgrif104 is right on. For Heavy Metal, JBL pro audio will blow away any home audio speaker.
