| JBL 4349 or Klipsch Cornwall IV I’ve heard both and my impression was Cornwall was hands down a better speaker. One caveat, you need a tube amp to make it sound its best. I heard them with a low powered SET and was blown away. They’re very smooth, dynamic, great at low volume, l... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Yes Mahgister, Sofronitksy certainly ruined me, after hearing his Schubert I'm having a hard time listening to anyone else.. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados I've been enjoying Julia Fischer for few days. Truly impressive. Loved her Dvorak concerto. I'm getting into Bruch violin concerto, looking for recommendations for LPs. So far heard Fischer, Oistrakh and Kyung Chung. | |
| Sonus Faber Amati Tradition - How Many Watts Optimal? You should be fine with MC75. Keep in mind both SF and MAC tubes have a very warm signature, which is fine if you enjoy this. Alternatively you can get two MC275 and bridge them as monos. Doubling power will add another 3db to your peak volume. Of... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Is anyone familiar with this LP? Sibelius: Violin Concerto / David Oistrakh / Ehrling / Stockholm Festival Orch. 1954 on Angel Just listened to it on YouTube and was very impressed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1n-QHS888r4What are some other no... | |
| Speaker upgrade for classical music If you are serious about having a system that could accurately reproduce classical music then you need to start from scratch. That means get a new amp, source etc. The easiest way is to get a one box solution with an integrated amp and a decent st... | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados goofyfoot, what's better than tidal and qobuz? I was under the impression they were the only CD quality or better streaming services in US. I realize their classical selection is lacking to say the least. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados The Art of Ivo Pogarelich on Tidal has most of his recordings in one place. Both Pletnev and Ivo are amazing in Etudes | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @goofyfoot found it on Tidal, listening to it now. Thanks | |
| Integrated amp -- Pass Labs vs Luxman vs McIntosh Audio research Gsi75 integrated is superb, but not cheap. It was about 16k new, now can probably get for around 10k. I second Luxman, they're amazing amps. Id take the Luxman 590AXII over pass, and definitely over MAC. I own Mac system as well, it... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Just listened to Schumann: Symphonic Etudes, Op. 13 by Sviatoslav Richter. Melodia release, available on Tidal. It is astounding. Is there another notable recording of this ? | |
| Integrated amp -- Pass Labs vs Luxman vs McIntosh I have SF and believe they sound best with tubes. If you can get your hands on Audio research integrated tube amp you will not regret it. Stay away from hybrid, there is nothing tube like to their sound, just pretty lights. MACs are a good match w... | |
| Tube or SS without any doubt, id say keep the tubes | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados I was surprised to find politics infiltrating this forum. I honestly couldn't care less of Wagners political views. I accept that he's vile anti semite, but I love his music. I don't think we should be canceling composers and classical music in ge... |
