Album Recommendations for Magnepans


I just got a new pair of Magnepan .7's to go with a Rogue Pharaoh and Rel T7.  I'm interested in hearing what your favorite albums to listen on Magnepans are.

You mention that you are interested in learning about Orchestra(l) music.  You also mention that you are "not sure it would sound good on Maggies".  Good for you for wanting to expand your musical horizons including Classical music.  Not sure why you think Maggies would not do Orchestral music well since that genre is precisely what they do best, imo.  With their unusually natural midrange and fantastic soundstaging (with proper placement) they are great speakers for Orchestral music.  Try the Beethoven symphonies with Carlos Kleibet conducting the Vienna Philharmonic, or the Bela Bartok "Concerto For Orchestra" with Fritz Reiner conducting the Chicago Symphony. You also mention that you like Dave Brubeck.  Something musically analogous to that kind of "chamber jazz" that you may like is the Bach "Flute Sonatas" with William Bennett on flute.
