Help with sub for music
FYI and to clarify my post; the Vandersteen 2W crossover is external between the preamp and power amps. There are currently two model 2W. The 2Wq is tuned more for music, the V2W for movies. Originally there was just the 2W. 
Out of Control
If we were preamps, I am a used CJ Sonographe, Pavarotti is the CJ ART. I might get $200, He gets $20,000. I sound good I am told, but it's still no contest at all. 
Out of Control
Specs mean nothing. Put very simply, a 15000 Hz (or whatever) pure tone and completely distorted 15000 hHz tone are the same spec on paper (15000 hz). I can sing (some) of the same notes Pavarotti can, but it sounds better when he does it. He char...

My Stan Warren DVD Player Arrived Yahoo

Help with sub for music
The Vandersteen 2W is a very musical sub that has the cut-off/roll off filters. The other really good musical subs are the REL's, however, they integrate with your main speakers, ie, your main speakers go full range.

Did you get it from Northampton Audio/Spearit Sound ?? To answer Jack, they made a special purchase of CJ's left over stock of the older MF amplifiers. So they have new ones including the 2300, 2200 and 2100. If you got it there, call Dick Mouldin... 
More Dumb "Classical" Stereotypes
We're forgeting recommendations. For Schubertmaniac I recommend the Trout with Clifford Curzon and members of the Vienna Octet. It has been in the record catalogs continuously since its release in 1957. Curzon's solo Schubert piano sonatas are als... 
More Dumb "Classical" Stereotypes
Also very relaxing is Wagner's Siegfried Idyll. Wagner wrote this for his wife as a gift when their son was born. He hired musicians to play it on the steps of his Villa on Christmas morining. How romantic!

Any good cheap integrated amps?
The NAD 302 that is $75 here on Audiogon is the predecessor of the 3020. They just dropped one zero. It is also 30 watts instead of 20. 
Transport Help
I agree the CDM-9 transport on the 970BX was excellent in its day, so the rumor your heard should be ignored. The Studio quality all metal transport on the Rotel RCD-990 was the same basic design, with aluminum instead of plastic tray, etc, etc.
