Does Heavy Metal music benefit from a high end audio system?

Why wouldn't a "better" setup benefit ANY genre?

The recording of whatever matters. Maybe todays rap/hip hop/pop that's made with Casio computer sound clips is the music that doesn't matter? 

I was going to put up Fabio’s system, but decided to go with a Heavy Metal showtune by AC/DC (sort of) instead.

Yes it does!  As always, the source/ recording quality dictates the results.

That would have been Judas Priest, not Iron Maiden.

Oops! You are right. I had the vinyl given to me and I had not listened to it til about 6 mos ago. I was shocked at how good it sounds.

I agree with giantsalami - that user name is heavy metal!

Music is music and I have used a variety of songs to audition equipment and Black Sabbath War Pigs and Led Zepplin Boogie with Stu are typically on the list as well as songs from Steely Dan, Herbie Hancock and others.

A higher end system with higher levels the improved dynamics and details can actually give the illusion the volume is not as high when doing A vs B tests.
