Metamorphosen by Richard Strauss. Suggestion?
Karajan's is the way to go. The sonics is not outstanding but is good, and the performance is first rate. 
Is this amplifier enough for Revel M20s?
This amp puts out 150W p/c at 8ohms, 250W at 4ohms. Jdcmac12, what about your AVR? thanks. 
Recommended integrated for B&W 802?
Being fan of Musical Fidelity gear, I would recommend the MF A300 ($1600 new) over the Classe CAP-150 and the Krell 300i. I haven't heard the Plinius so no comments on this one. This is the link:http://www.musical-fidelity.co.uk/products/aseries/a... 
Recommended integrated for B&W 802?
This integrated is really super and will drive your 802 with ease with its 250 WPC (delivering more than 275) and its 40 amperes of peak current. Some people say this amp is better than the Mark Levinson's. It retails for $4500 new I think. Check ... 
Bel..AVo 200.2, Musical Fidelity A3cr, YBA 2hc, Pass X150
Fineberg, which Bryston amp did you use before the A3CR? I also have Magnepans (1.6qr)driven by MF A300 integrated and thinking of changing the amp, maybe biamping with the A3CR or a Bryston alone. Also, which preamp and source are you using? I'm ... 
What's better? 1 amp of 250wpc OR 2 amps of 135wpc each one?
Sean, your comments does not bother me, in fact, I think you probably are right. I was already thinking of adding a powered subwoofer (for instance a rel strata III). Yes, I think the upper bass is weak currently, but I do not understand how is th... 
What's better? 1 amp of 250wpc OR 2 amps of 135wpc each one?
Thanks all for your responses. Jvr and Sean, I want to upgrade the amplification section due to I feel that my speakers (Magnepan 1.6qr, which are very inefficient)are not being driven with "ease", even I think the a300 is loud enough, the sound f... 
Heads up on Toshiba SD-6200
Dekay,it's a DVD player. 
just starting
The Musical Fidelity A300 is an excellent choice from my point of view for your budget, I own one and think it's a great amp for the money. I like it more than the Krell 300i which is a grand more expensive. The A300 costs $1500 new. You can see s... 
I NEED HEADPHONES....NOW
I own both, Grado RS-1 and Senheissers HD600. Let me tell you that even the grados are twice the price of the HD600 I prefer the HD600 over the grados in all music genres. The HD600 are more neutral with a bigger sound stage and a bass as deep as ... 
DDD CD Recordings
Boboh1, I think you can find DDD recordings in every CD store. As far as I know, all cd music from 1981 up to now is recorded digitally, so you will find easily lots of DDD cd's. Can anybody tell me if I'm wrong? In my personal case, many times I ... 
Essential Classical
My favorite version of this Symphonie Fantastic is with Karajan (Deutsche Grammophon) and the powerful strings of the Berlin Philharmonic, recorded in 1975. Exellent performance and good sonics. The tympani sounds very powerful in the fourth movem... 
Best headphones under 800.00 USD
To be more especific, I have reduced my options to 2 headphones, the Sennheiser HD600 and the Grado RS-1. I know the last ones are twice the price of the first ones, however I have heard the HD600 are better for large orchestral works, is that tru... 
BEST brand for Classical Recordings?
Elgordo and Sc53, excuse my ignorance but, what do you mean with "the absolute phase is reversed"? Could you please explain me that? Thank you! 
BEST brand for Classical Recordings?
If Deutsche Grammophon is not such good, why is that label among the most expensive ones? Why do most of the most prestigious orchestras record for this label? For example de Berlin and Viena Philharmonics. Thanks for your responds.
