Classical music is the only genre that demands high end audio systems. Timbre is everything in classical music and the 'groups' can range from a soloist to over 100 in a full blown orchestra. But, it seems to me, that the people that 'talk' about the music they like on this site, seem to lean towards small pop music groups that could and can be reproduced easily by a Bose table radio. Of course we are all guilty of 'over kill' when it comes to equipment, but thats part of the enjoyment of this hobby.
