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.

Hi Atma, now that you mention a hint of Karl Orff. . . I remember listening to Cantos General on the radio. . . quantitatively, a most impressive work.
"quantitatively, a most impressive work"

I must give this a listen. Surely must sound better in digital/CD format than in phono/analog!!! I'd also like to run a sum check on the file and compare the total to other works!!!!

Now I think I've discovered how to truly quantify the merits of any partilular piece of art, as long as its in digital format!
Guidocorona and Mapman, Mikas Theodorakis was there to conduct, and said that in over 200 performances worldwide, it was the best sound that he had heard. So I think we did OK on the production and recording side. It is available on CD and I just recently found a few more sealed LPs (made from the analog master tapes), which we had thought had sold out 15 years ago!

It is a challenging piece to reproduce so I often have it at shows as a demo. I've seen a lot of speakers and amps fall flat on their collective faces trying to reproduce it.
Hi Atma, jokes aside, I'd be very interested in listening to the recording. . . to late now to use it for my current review project. . . want to finish on Friday.
Guido, sorry for the off-point commentary on my part Your choice of words to describe the work mentioned by Atmasphere just struck a silly bone in me.

Cheers!
