Most of the posts in my thread here haven't exactly been serious posts that are in any way informative. More trolling than anything. Therefore relying on that as an answer is completely useless and so I decided to keep looking at the same time. Notice I didn't answer my own questions yet, I've merely narrowed down the search somewhat.

So far, this is what I've found, but the quest has only begun since I now need to look for an equally good headphone amplifier. http://www.head-fi.org/t/634201/battle-of-the-flagships-58-headphones-compared-update-audeze-lcd-2-revision-2-6-4-13#user_EPILOGUE http://www.head-fi.org/t/715478/headphones-for-metal-music-ultimate-solution http://www.themasterswitch.com/best-headphone-amps-2014 (Grace m903 reference amp)

What kind of speakers + amp would you recommend for metal as best, if I won't use headphones?

Dear Headphone audiophiles, I want to buy the best headphones for listening to metal music. I recently purchased sE electronics The EGG speakers with amplifier and have concluded that they have way too much bass. I was disappointed when I placed a AKG K240 headphone in my Focusrite Forte usb soundcard and heard tons of details in my favorite records that I had not previously heard. I love hearing all the tiny details the artists intended us to hear. From what I have researched, any speakers/headphones that are fantastic for classical music will likely be great for metal as well (clear highs, good mids, little bass). Basically, I need headphones that make me hear everything you can possibly hear in the following albums listed below. I do not need something that 'forgives' bad recording quality. I want to hear everything the artist recorded. Do not limit your advice based on price, I'm flexible about this. Metal subgenres: folk, progressive, death, neoclassical, thrash, orchestral. Albums that I use to test quality: Angra - Temple of shadows Animals as leaders - The joy of motion Annihilator - Criteria for a black widow Arch enemy - Wages of sin Arch enemy - Doomsday machine Arcturus - The sham mirrors At the gates - Slaughter of the soul Behemoth - Demigod Cacophony - Go off!
