This doesn't directly answer your question, but I've found a more fundamental question, especially in the audiophile context. What kind of "classical" music do you want to listen to? Not the period, but do you want full symphonic orchestras? smaller orchestras? Chamber music? Solo or small group tunes? In my living room, where my audiophile system (transporter, etc.) are, I just can't accept a full orchestra. They won't fit. So while many of the standard pieces, say the Muti / Philly orchestra Beethoven Symphonies sound good and are enjoyable, I can't break the memory in my head of what they sounded like at the Kennedy Center, and there are just too many people to fit in my living room. So I find that I can accept the illusion of listening to live musicians with smaller groups. A real orchestra playing a big piece at FF or FFF is really loud and big. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
