Logans and Heavy Metal?

I am reall interested in a pair of Aerius I's, and I like all kinds of music. From Jazz to Country, Blues to Extermely Heavy Metal. I've heard these speakers with all kinds of music except Heavy Metal. I've read that they are not that great at the hard stuff. Is this really true? Is it a listenable reproduction of the music, or is it so bad that I should avoid them? Most of my Heavy Metal listening is at work or in the car, but there are those days... These speakers will be used as home theater as well. Any comments or other recommendations are greatly appreciated.
FYI the driving amp is an Odyssey Stratos.

Sean, guess it is just a difference of our definition of "metal". I noticed you listed Entombed. Nice guys, toured for a month or so with them back in 92 before going on to a day job.

Actually not with them, but on the same bus playing with another band.

Well your probably right sean on with "old school". I don't listen to any of the bands you mentioned. And I call heavy metal ozzy, judis priest, metallica, scorpions, etc... I guess there's a huge difference in time. Wow I getting old. I talked to a friend of mine a few years younger and he said what I call heavy metal is completely different than this young generation. So to Ton1313 if you want panels you may want to audition them first with a good SS and a sub and see if you like it. Panels may not go as loud for you as they fill my needs fine. Good luck.

I don't really need them that loud for this system, all I need is for them to play some Type O Negative and Slipknot like they should be played. I have grown tired of Metallica, (no offense) and I love some of the harder, newer metal. Type O Negative, for those who don't know, is a "metal / goth band with some really catchy songs and remakes. Thanks for all of the input, I really appreciate it.

Sean, we have a pair of EROS (2 channel system) and a pair of ISIS (HT front speakers) and love them. What has been your experience? We listen to mostly JAZZ and vocals but we had some DEF LEPPARD (Now that's original Heavy Metal!) and it sounded *real good* (gettin' in the summer frame of mind or somethin')
