How to add depth for classical music

Good suggestions by Ralph ( @atmasphere ). Also, some years back Chesky remastered a few of the recordings originally engineered by Kenneth Wilkinson and issued them on CD, with spectacular results. I don’t know if they are available on any of the streaming services (I note that you only listed a streamer as a source, although perhaps you also have the Node 2i linked to a computer that can play CDs), and the CDs are no longer in print, but you may be able to find some of them at Amazon or eBay in used condition.

I would particularly recommend the following, both of which are fantastic IMO in terms of both performance and sonics:

Dvorak "New World Symphony," Jascha Horenstein conducting the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Chesky CD31. (You will not believe this was recorded in 1962!)

Brahms "Symphony No. 1," Jascha Horenstein conducting the London Symphony Orchestra, Chesky CD19 (also recorded in 1962).

To add to my earlier comment about the extremely light weight of the speaker, relative to its size, as well as to the experienced-based comment by @twoleftears , a couple of brief excerpts from the 6moons review:

That the depth perspective would have been less built out or specific than very highly time-optimized impulse-tweaked speakers—Anthony Gallo's Strada 2 for example—was par for this course. This included a certain looseness in the mid/upper bass registers....

...  That densely layered orchestral or soundtrack strings would sort and separate out less acutely was a logical byproduct of the very same organic voicing.

My suggestion would be to first upgrade the speakers, then optimize placement and do whatever may be practical in terms of room treatment.

Good luck. Regards,

I have no experience with your equipment, but based on user comments I've seen here and elsewhere about your Parasound electronics, the Node2i, and the Qutest, and after doing a bit of research on the speakers, I'm struck by exactly one thing: The speakers are **extremely** light relative to their size, as audiophile-oriented speakers go (45.5 x 13.3 x 17.2 inches; 47 pounds). Which leads me to suspect that they are the weak link in your system, not only in terms of the compromised image depth you refer to, but probably in other respects as well.

Just a thought to consider. Good luck.
