What are the characteristics of Hifi geared towards good reproduction of classical music?


   Hi everyone, I mostly listen to classical with some jazz and wondering how I should build my system. What should I look for? How much power do I need, and what brand speakers are specifically a good match for that?

 

   Thanks everyone in advance for your time and expertise...You guys are a great source of Hifi info and ideas!

 

   Happy holidays everyone!

For me, accurate orchestral string tone and absence of electronic artifacts in vocals are the two most important factors for reproduction of classical music. Imaging and three dimensionality can put me on Cloud Nine, as well. Dynamics and punch are important but it certainly isn't the last word for me. In any case, I've recently found a whole lot of the aspects I love in my NOLA Boxers, which feature soft dome tweeters.
