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!

go over to youtube.com and type in JTR Growler duo subwoofer and triple 8
speaker. there is a lot of wind noise in the vid, but you'll get the idea. Make
sure you watch it till the end.

I spend time over at AVSforum. There is a long thread in the speaker forum devoted to a company called JTR. There are quite a few metal heads using his speakers over there. Perhaps, you might take a look. His latest model is the Noesis 215HT. With frequency stats of 18z to 24kh, can handle 2000 watts rms and and has a usable output of 128 dB. I think they would do the job quite nicely. Do a little reading on his line of speakers as well as a company called Seaton.
