Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar)
I have to agree with dodgealum, what is the obsession with detail? I think most would agree that digital formats provide more detail than does analogue playback but vinyl generally gets chosen as a better sounding experience.

twoleftears these BBC engineers intrigue me. I’m extremely happy with my Quad 2905’s but had to have panels replaced since I bought them. I will keep the Quads but eventually want a high end dynamic speaker and am mostly interested in Harbeth.

Classical Recordings from the Golden Age
Thanks lowrider, I didn't realize the earlier recordings were on EMI.In my mind, von Karajan stands out as a Beethoven conductor but his Brahms interpretations are also super fantastic but Brahms is close to my heart. These are recommended on the ...

Clean Power without the drawbacks of Conditioning Filtering. Advice?

Classical Recordings from the Golden Age
lowrider, I've seen the entire RCO anthology collection for as low as $350.00-ish. The prices may continue to fall, which is what I'm waiting for. That Volume 1 that you cite is pretty hard to find by itself. I also believe that Mengelberg is the ...

Clean Power without the drawbacks of Conditioning Filtering. Advice?
If you want clean AC without the disadvantages of using a power conditioner, then I would take a look at the Akiko Audio Corelli or the smaller Minelli. They simply plug into a power strip.https://www.akikoaudio.com/en/products I've been planning ...

Thanks Roxy, I have been looking at the Decca mono box set for a few months now and am glad that you give it such high praise. With respect to the Tahra label, they are now unfortunately finito. I do own a few CD's on the Tahra label.
