You probably want something that does not sound harsh or forward. Look for a design with a midrange scoop ( a dip in the midrange response from 1K to 4K or in practice a speaker with 6" or larger midrange and with a tweeter crosssed over high say at 4KHZ).
Some of the Best speakers for Prog Rock/Metal
Hi guys,
I'm in the hunt for speakers, preferably floorstanders, that would be best suited for progressive rock/metal. Common bands I listen to, to name a few, are: Opeth, Tool, Agalloch, Kamelot, Dark Tranquillity, Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree, Nightwish, etc. If any of you know some of these bands, you know that they're not just balls out metal, but they have a lot more intricacies to them as well.
I honestly don't even know where to begin in the search for speakers that would be best for this. I do know that I plan on getting a tube CDP and tube amps to go with whatever speakers. So, list out some speakers/brands that would be great for this. At this point, don't worry about budget, just nothing above the $8-10K range.
