Hello!
Question in subject... I swear by Mozart, Tchaikovsky etc!

Not sure if I'm a die-hard buff but I sure love western classical, just the way I love a bunch of other genres! My favorite composers are Tchaikovsky, Strauss, Bach and Dvorak. Don't know much about music theory though...
Who cares about theory?
As long you have a rocking pair of speakers/headphones and classical music that sounds good!
Listen to some of Mozart's wood wind works especially those for the clarinet...
Awesome! :clapping:
Had a couple of Clarinet works by Beethoven I think, which I liked lots, so will surely look up Mozart's as well. And yeah, most of my music listening is through my HD650s and it rocks for sure!![]()
One more to this thread......
Mostly Beethoven's symphonies, some Piano & Violin Concertos, practically all of Amadeus, Strauss, some Bach, some Tchaikovsky esp ballets, some Chopin, Schumann, Schubert, Haydn and of course Verdi Operas..... Some Organ too.
BTW - mandatory for a classical listener to build a system that does justice to it, esp to absorb all the minute nuances & the swinging dynamics.
Absolutely, if you ask me, classical is the toughest genre to get right.
Everything is required....
From the lowest notes of a huge pipe organ to the piccolo... everything with authentic timbre/tone... spades of resolution to place every performer in a colossal soundstage... dynamics so that every thing from a single player to a canon shot in 1812 overture is heard well... lightning fast transients to do cymbal crashes well... timing and precise attack and decay to get piano right...

You would have to be in a concert hall with the Berliner Philharmoniker or the Wiener Philharmoniker to hear ALL that.
As for 'playing back' the symphony's of Mahler or Beethoven - NEVER!
you are seriously understating when you say 'good' or 'decent'![]()
just those speakers are for over $3000! in fact i am willing to pay you to listen to beethoven's sixth on that system!
I will probably build one in a decade or two, but until then i will have to manage with my headphone setup.
Cheers!

If you happen to come to Chandigarh you are welcome to come over for a listen. To a session of symphonies.
The Bach Grand seems to be a wonderful two way speaker, for a medium sized room
wonderful! might just make a trip especially for this then
yes i hope to get myself something within $2k, so maybe the bach or mozart grand will do. i have Dali bookshelves which sound atrocious with western classical.
however i am doing just fine with my sennheiser HD600's until i get some serious gear and a pair of floorstanders!
I can only imagine what the HD 600 would be like. I presume that lossles files played through a decent Dac and head phone amplifier, would sound terrific. Probably far more exciting than many big systems.
