yyz,
Glad you like the Mozart CD I recommended. It is great that you enjoy it even if classical music is not your first love. Great performances can enable you to enjoy the music as you gain familiarity. Musically, it is the best version of these pieces I have heard. I have played and performed them as a solo violinist, and the soloist on this CD is a magical wizard. There is a YT video of him coaching a talented 16 year old girl violinist. She plays "correctly" but he has great imagination and artistry and offers inspiration to her.
Take this music in small doses. Each movement (section) is only about 7 min. From an audio point of view, early in the first track of Concerto 3, see if you can hear in the right channel several times when the soloist SNIFFS to give a cue to the orchestra. This is different from hearing the breath of a wind player from the mouth. The AHB2 is the amp most likely to best reveal the subtleties of the sniff. HF detail is needed to appreciate this.
I like the 40 lb dumbbells on the right side in one of your system pictures. Stay in great shape!
