Ok first of all don't get all judgy on me, I listen to all types of music (exceptions being country and R&B), but my favourite genre is metal. Some of my favourite bands include In Flames, Pantera, All that Remains, Lamb of God, Machinehead, BLS, etc.

Finding speakers, or a combination of speakers and an amp that really brings this type of music to life is not easy, so I'm wondering if you guys have some suggestions for speakers that might be worth looking at.

It's not that I'm unhappy with my current setup, I just wonder if I'm missing out.

Gear I've used/sampled in the past:

Dynaco A25 - I was too young to remember and had to give them back to my dad before I knew any better.

Deftech BP2002TL - found them overly bright and maybe even a little harsh

Paradigm Monitor 9 v4 - found them muddy, almost the opposite of the deftechs (might have been due to poor amplification)

B&W 603 S3 (current setup) - the mids seem thin, hard to explain, music is not as "full" as it should be.

Might be that i'm chasing a white rabbit here, this type of music isn't generally recorded or mastered with the care that you would find in the newest Lady Gaga song or other more mainstream rock.

I've heard Klipsch might be an avenue to explore, but I'm not sure how I feel about the quality of their current lineup.

Any thoughts? WAF is a factor and they should work in an HT setup.
