a few comments on recent posts below
sonus fabers have been a quintessential speaker brand for classical music reproduction for many many years
focals would do well too
harbeths can have excellent detail, the overall presentation is warmer though... some folks mistake this for lack of detail
proacs have more ’overt detail’ as the mid bass is dialed back compared to harbeth’s voicing
british speakers from the bbc lineage or close relation thereof -- spendor, rogers, harbeth, kef etc etc -- are indeed very good at classical music as that was mostly what was being broadcast when the whole movement came to be - their lossy cabinets provide wonderful sympathetic resonances that mimic that of many acoustic instruments in symphonies and orchestras
open baffle/dipole/omni directional radiator speakers are very very good for classical as they aid in producing a large airy image and a ’wave of sound’
as always, in ANY of the above, room acoustics and system matching are very important to achieve desired results
