| What are the characteristics of Hifi geared towards good reproduction of classical music? The same characteristics of gear for any other genre.

| Too much power? "I have a wonderful system with a great amplifier." Stop. Do not pass go. You are there. Be happy. Peace... | |
| Advice on Integrated Receiver The speakers are fine. I still own the MA Silver 8s in a second system. When they were in my main system I drove them with a Krell (150/300 W/ch) and a Vincent (also 150/300 w/ch). | |
