Speakers for Heavy Metal


I currently have a pair of Odyssey Lorelei speakers and they are a bit thin sounding with metal.  I'd like something a little beafier and warm.  I'm driving them with a Pass X150.5 and a Metrum Hex DAC.  Any thoughts on something below 2k that doesn't require a subwoofer?

Hard Rock and Heavy Metal are very difficult to reproduce in our home systems (for an unknown reason?).

Few audiophile speakers can get it right. I tend to agree w/ the above advice and would add for consideration, B&W, Infinity and Thiel, loudspeakers.
These would be from the 1990's vintage.

Also, Klipsch Cornwall or Cornscala are excellent for Rock music.
The cornwall is a very large speaker that requires a larger space to stretch out.
Back in the 80's the guys interested in Metal, certainly had Cerwin-Vega speakers because, we could play them very LOUD!

It would be interesting to learn if the company is original or owned by someone else....
