I've been listening to J-metal for several months be it my Yamaha headphones wireless IEM or my Bryston rig with Model T passive speakers.
My Yamaha IEM are pretty good, I can hear the bass and drummings but it all kind of blends together. Depending on the song, following the bass line is not easy and the drumming footwork not easy to discern either.
With the Bryston rig I can follow the bass line and the double bass drumming foot work, it's intoxicating. These ladies from bands like Aldious, Band-Maid, Lovebites, Nemophila, Hagani, are really proficient drummers.
With the volume level set to 12 O'clock the bass slams from my Model T's. If I want concert level, which I do for a few songs that need to be played at concert level, I'll bump it up to 2 O'clock, then I'm at the concert!
