| Classical Music for Aficionados @twoleftears Rubenstein's #4 concerto has been a favorite of mine since I first heard it 40 years ago... It was on an old VoxBox collection with Micheal Ponti.Actually, I rediscovered it on Spotify. They had 3 volumes from Early Romantic to Late R... | |

| Good starter speaker @rs1831,You are most welcome.I would also like to mention a very good audio dealer named John Rutan.Audioconnection is his audiogon name and his store. I recommend him because he knows stereo and he is an up front guy who won't try to sell you any... | |
