| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Goofyfoot,I think you are right. I really like Pletnev, Horowitz and the latest find is the conductor Tugan Sokhiev with the Toulouse National Orchestra. He studied in Eastern Europe...I have gotten nearly everything he has done with that orchestr... | |

| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow Thanks Tbg! Great read! And congrats! | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow Big fan of Stillpoints Ultra 5s...just put 8 under my old Wilson X1s...stunning. Then put 3 on top of Velodyne DD18 which already is on Auralex Isolation platform. Plus one on top of preamp and Stillpoints LPI on transport...all great. Interesting... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I heard the Genesis 1.1s...but completely and i mean completely reworked...external Dueland Silver crossovers, ribbons, etc. It is to date the finest sound i have heard and by a wide, wide margin. I have been to Sound by Singer, Extreme? in Turkey... | |

And yes, that was exactly my initial impression...very different than the cycles i already have. I did not want to get a complete cycle...only to think its a whole nother cycle but not bringing... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD After some deliberation and listening to snips, i decided to go for something different. I have Karajan '63 remastered, Furtwangler's war-time remastered versions from Tahra and Audite, and also Harnoncourt. So went with Hogwood and the AAM. Delib... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Mcondon,interesting...can you describe what you heard in the Lessloss room a bit more? I just looked up this speaker...very interesting. Thanks for any insights, ackowledging you were hearing at a show. Any 'flavor' of what the Kaiser Kawero Class... | |

| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Thanks for all the feedback...great reading. I may try these Gardiner symphonies now. I do enjoy the Karajans...i will give another listen soon. | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Thank you! I have read somewhere a strong preference for Gardiner over the Academy of Ancient Music Beethoven Symphonies. Same forMackerras whose historical Mozart symphonies are apparently great. |
