speakers for classical music

Shouldn't all speakers play all music? Although at least B&W/Vienna Acoustics are consistent in that they don't play anything well.
Seriously though I am looking forward to the RMAF its a yearly pilgrimage for me to listen and look a lot of the unobtainable, unless I win the Lotto or rob a bank.
I only hope that Jazz is not being played to much in many rooms as of past years.

Guido- I will certainly look into the Soundings/JRDG/Sumiko room. I think I heard the Mahlers a few years (2) on the Mezzanine floor/1st floor? in the same room that Linn were in the last year? being run with 3/4 205/305 REL subs? Going from memory so I maybe wrong.
The poor sounding B&W 802's/Classe I will allow for the room they were in should have sounded more like music than hi-fi.
I would not replace those over my KCS Oris 150's which are (to my ears folks) much much more musical, and decidedly less expensive. Each to their own fellow sufferers.

I wonder why jazz is played so much at shows? is it because you can make almost any system sound like a million dollars?
Even the mega expensive ones! lol

I tend to steer clear of using classical music to evaluate as a system busting tool, classical cd's are usually very well recorded and all are extremely listenable. For me its better to use cd's that are a bit edgy with jangly guitars and lots of splashing cymbals'. Then again massed strings or massed voices are usually good enough to separate the wheat from the chaff. Happy listening all!

And I always thought '3' was the magic number, but apparently its 85.lol

Do we really need the use of an SPL meter and all this db talk? me being a simpleton I just hit the volume pot (or button on the remote) either up or down as required. When at a gig I have no control of the volume the band play at I just move further back if it is to loud, I always carry plugs for gigs other than classical. I have never found a classical concert to loud for my ears.
