TG, my musical listening is classical, so I can't comment on your preferences. However, an accurate speaker is an accurate speaker, regardless of musical genre'. The speaker should only reproduce what the performers intended, not add something extra on its own. Since you'll be using a sub, I'd suggest M2s plus an EP175. If you haven't read the M2 review on SoundStage and NRC measurements you might take a look.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
