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 Dave, We will be at RMAF. Bring your classical torture tracks! Our room is very large, but I am hoping we will be able to take advantage of that by having a soundstage as wide as an actual stage. A nice big soundstage where the musicians seem life size instead of miniature is always nice...
Shouldn't all speakers play all music? Although at least B&W/Vienna Acoustics are consistent in that they don't play anything well.
Seriously though I am looking forward to the RMAF its a yearly pilgrimage for me to listen and look a lot of the unobtainable, unless I win the Lotto or rob a bank.
I only hope that Jazz is not being played to much in many rooms as of past years.

Thanks for the BS answer. I'm sure there'll be plenty of jazz, just for you, at RMAF. ;-0

Well Gawdbless. . . if you have the opportunity of attending the next RMAF, please do pop into the Soundings/JRDG/Sumiko large suite. There you will listen to at least one set or 2 of Vienna speakers )(likely Mahlers and 'Die Muzik') set up correctly and driven by well matched JRDG electronics. Bring your test tracks as I do. . . if in the end Vienna speakers are still not of your taste, at least you will know that you truly do not like them. As for Vienna speakers consistently never playing anything well,. . . 'tis a matter of opinions, isn't it? G.
