In general, as someone who listens to Classical about 99%, I prefer accuracy, and not something that sugar coats bad recordings. One question would be if they value surround sound, as Classical Music lovers have kept SACD alive for the last 20 years. Assuming that the answer to the above is no, you still need to know what the preferred source will be—CDs, Vinyl, CDs that have been burned to a HD,Vinyl, tape, etc. In general tubes somewhere in the system—preamp is fine-provides a better soundstage depth, so the percussion sounds like it is coming from the back of the Orchestra and not from the Conductors waist pocket. Also a sub to get those really low percussive effects that composers such as Mahler and Shostakovich revel in.
Sinus Fabre is usually the speakers touted for CM, and they look great, but I’m not a fan due to colorations. I would rather get a value for money speaker like Paradigm
