IMO the 3 most important factors for a convincing rock/metal presentation is great mid bass, good dynamics, a top end that won’t take your head off.
I had some Klipsch Chorus 2s for a while. They were really fun and could definitely rock but need to EQ them fairly heavily in my room. The bass didn’t go real low but it had that punch you in the chest quality. Still at times that tweeter could get pretty piercing even with the EQ. For around a Grand for a good pair I don’t think you can do better for rock. I haven’t heard any of the newer generation of Klipsch Heritage.
Tekton DIs are great for rock and metal without as many compromises as I heard with the Klipsch. Better mid bass, definitely not as much fatigue. I will say while the Tekton bass goes lower it doesn’t sock you the way the Klipsch did.
