Well Recorded Classical Symphonic Recordings
@rvpiano I love the Schumann Symphonies and like Brahms have always been searching for recordings that can represent his orchestrations clearly. So far the best are: Schenwandt and the Netherlands Radio Chamber Philharmonic on Challenge Classics ...

@littleman Thanks I will check out your suggestions  As for Brahms I too have struggled to find a really good recording of his Symphonies and other large works until recently. Try the Live Boston Symphony recordings with Nelsons on DG. Beautiful...

Marks’s Our Shangra La. Very nice recording and song.

@rvpiano Yes those Barbiroli recordings have been excellently up sampled  especially the 5th and 9th. That 9th was my favorite in my Analog days.  As good as those are if I’m focusing on recording quality I have to go with the Boulez cycle on DG ...

@rvpiano Which recordings are you referring to?  
Well Recorded Classical Symphonic Recordings
@mspot The Haitink cycle is an excellent recording. It’s especially spacious which is unusual for Decca. Very nice wide soundstage and depth. Good instrument separation. The only criticism I’d give is the Woodwind section especially flutes is som... 
Watts! How many do we need?
My Speakers are Harbeth C7ES-XD at 86db sensitivity. They are rated at up to 150 watts. Their impedance is 6 ohms with the lowest at 5.8 ohms. So an easy drive. But I've been told they like power. The Accuphase P4600 is rated at 150 watts per chan...

@audphile1 Yes I was focusing on the recorded sound. Rostropovich performances are always excellent.

@westcoastaudiophile As a follow up I guess I’m mostly running in Class A since I have not been able push my meters pass 1 watt.   
Watts! How many do we need?
@weatcoastaudiophile Still don’t understand how you calculated your number from those specs but you were on the money. Here’s the response from Accuphase.    The actual amount of Class A bias for the P-4600 is not a fixed amount and will vary de...

@audphile1 Familiar with Tutti. Have most of the Telarcs.    The Shostakovich is a decent Live recording but like most live recordings lacks air, soundstage depth and scale. Try the Levi / Atlanta on Telarc for an expansive large scale experienc...

Ok I’ll send them an email. They’re very responsive  
Watts! How many do we need?
@westcoastaudiophile Yep that's what I was looking at. 6 transistors per channel. Now I would be happy if I was getting 10 watts per channel in Class A. Please direct to where this is noted.  
Watts! How many do we need?
@westcoastaudiophile The specs on their site say 6 transistors per channel. Still don’t see how you com to this conclusion. They don’t mention any Class A wattage.

@newbee I’m a big Copland fan and have the Telarc Kunzel recording of those works. It’s excellent.
