Best system for jazz?


My musical tastes have shifted and now I find I listen mostly to jazz with some classical, bluegrass and space music thrown in. I'm just curious what kind of systems provide the most enjoyment for you jazz fans?

Budrew,

I appreciate that you asked what we enjoy instead of asking us to dictate our tastes to you.

As a listener to jazz and classical music,I value the interplay of instrumental lines and the timbres of the instruments(including voices)in orchestrated combinations more than I value a speaker's ability to reproduce frequency extremes and dynamic ranges.

In my price range,after much trial and error,I'm happy with the Maggie 1.6 s. In my opionion,they require a reasonably dead wall behind them,at least five or six feet of "breathing room" and high current amplification.
