What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker?
There seems to be tons of suggestions for "Pro=type" speakers (for lack of a better word), like JBL and Klipsch horn speakers. I've never personally tried this kind of speaker, and am a little reluctant due to the lack of low end production. I'm n...

I think there are metal speakers out there, you just need to shop around. I listen to mostly death metal as I said before. Let me add some more to the Revel and Axiom suggestions I made before.Tyler accoustics, legacy, vandersteen, von schweikert,... 
What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker?

Upgradying Tube Preamp
I went with a Modwright LS-100. Its still a 6SN7 pre, but I think it will be a much better match for my Pass amp

Choices, choices, choices! Right now I've got it narrowed down to Odyssey Stratos, Pass X150.5, Modwright KWA-100/150, or Parasound Halo A21.

schubert: which Odyssey amp did you have? Also is the synergy 550 discontinued, I couldn't find it on the site?
