What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker?
Yeah, but those are gonna need work. Unless you can find a pristine pair. And even so, they would need tlc. It wouldn't be a good idea to set those up and blast them, imo. 
CES 2015 anyone going
I'll be there.

Audio Technica AT150MLX finally gets some respect
I know that regarding the internal wiring. That's odd, maybe they forgot to include it on the assembly line.Ok, fair enough, no I haven't heard them.I see, very well then. 
Audio Technica AT150MLX finally gets some respect
The AT150MLX comes with PC-OCC cartridge leads, and I don't hear any problems with the stock headshell. So, imo, these aftermarket headhsells and leads are kind of a waste of money. But, if you think it will make a difference, go for it.

The JBL Studio 590s are a pretty good choice, and you can get them for much less than $3k. The retail on them is $2k. If you dig the 530s, you should definitely be more than content with the 590s. 
Has anyone tried Blue Jeans Cable LC-1 RCA IC?
I don't agree with what BJC has to say either. They seem to come fom the objectivist school. Not sure if they're hard-liners or not. Sorry to say, their cables are good, but not to be used for the finest of high end audio systems. 
Class A or AB amp for JBL S4700 speakers
It was good. Stay tuned for the article that's going up on our blog/website. There will be reviews by myself and the others, plus some pics. Thanks!

Legacy are alright, but not as good as Klipsch Heritage and JBL Synthesis, imo. I heard those old Polks back in '86 playing Deep Purple, I was not impressed. AS far as B&W, I would go with an old pair of 801 Matrixes series 2 or 3. Or the ever...

BJCs are good, solid OFC cables. They're good for upper mid-fi to entry level high end systems. But, they do not compare to up-occ copper and high grade silver cable. That's what you wanna use for a high end to ultra high end system.

Yeah, I forgot about ATC...good choice there guys. 
What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker?
Klipsch Heritage or JBL Synthesis. Both lines can take whatever you can throw at them. The Klipsch is a lot cheaper than the JBL line, but the JBLs sound better, imo. If you wanna go the cheap-o route look into Cerwin-Vega. 
worst sounding great lps
Here's some classic rock records that I feel have poor or inconsistent sound despite the great music within.Ted Nugent-'Double Live Gonzo!'Aerosmith-'Rocks'Kiss-'Hotter than Hell'Blue Öyster Cult-'Blue Öyster Cult'Deep Purple-'In Rock' 
Do prefer a black or silver faceplate?
Silver. My current amp has a black faceplate, however.
