speakers for classical music


Would like to hear from classical music listeners as to best floorstanders for that genre. B&W 803's sound good but want to get input with regard to other possibilities.

Compromise nothing, timbre, dynamics, etc. Nothing! Accept a speaker as ultimate for ANY genre of music if it has less than spectacular results in every parameter? No way!

The best speaker for classical is the best speaker for rock is the best for Jazz, etc.

In other words, I want the best no matter what I play. I don't want a speaker that only performs well with one kind of music or media.

A Better speaker for me better be better across the board. I'll not take exceptions to this rule.

Everything sounds better on a superior speaker - Chamber, orchestral, solo instrument, voice, everything!

And you know you have a winner when virtually nothing sounds bad, even music that sounded poor on other speakers with the same source, cables, etc has a lesser degree of "poorness"!

Atmasphere's comment in this regard is dead on.
