| Is there any equipment that can do this? The Carver C9 Holograph unit can do exactly what you describe) BUT you must set up your speakers properly (classic triangulated seat/speaker positions) to get it. At its best it ain’t that bad and is at least fascinating. If you can put it in a ta... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados mahgister, FWIW, I think God prefers all of Moravec's music. He didn't record a lot but what he did is well worth hearing. I can recommend some more if your interested. twoleftears, I'm not sure what caused you to reach your conclusions, but I thi... | |
| Can you get good quality sound on the short wall axis of a room?? Many folks use (and prefer) settting up their speakers on the short wall. The only real down side to doing this is having to deal with early reflections from the side walls (unless your room is wide enough to make this irrelevant). Works best if y... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Late night solo piano music by Lara Downes on Steinway & Sons label. ’A Billie Holiday Songbook’. Very laid back and quite enjoyable. Sort of like Hyman who’s music I find more energized (not so much ’late at night’ music). FWIW. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Herr Professor, since you are a self proclaimed history professor perhaps you would like to revisit the basis for your statement that I 'schooled you' for putting Mozart and Brahms above LvB and Mahler.At 10:03 AM on 2/18/2019, I posted my person... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Big +1 on Giulini's 7th w/ Vienna PO, and I would add his 9th with the CSO, still one of my fav's. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Schubert, FWIW, I can’t imagine a context which makes your comments about someone growing up in the age of ’rock’ relevant to the music they might like, or appreciate, nor, for that matter, detract from the obverse. Sophomoric drivel, I think, eve... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados I'm not unappreciative! Some of favorite Beethoven is his chamber music. My introduction to his chamber music was the Archduke, as well as his Kreutzer and Spring sonatas for piano and violin. I'm currently listening to the Florestan Trio on Hyp... | |
| Looking for more transparency. Do you still have the grills of your speakers in place? A lot of folks do -they usually just look better that way. When you're young with great hearing it probably doesn't make much difference, but as you start to suffer from age induced loss of t... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados RVpiano, I'll have you know I happen to have a very smart horse! It is a real challenge to compete with him when he's having a good day. But I digress (or is it regress? I'll have to ask my horse.) :-) | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados RV Piano, And my horse likes a muddy course. More fun getting all fouled up in the process than having to cross the finish line all prim, prissy, and politically correct. FWIW, I reflect a bit on my early experiences with Beethoven (and Schubert) ... | |
| In listening to your system(s)...what is most crucial to your enjoyment? That, for me anyway is fairly simple question. What I would want is a system which in my room allows me to hear all that is furnished by the recording on which you will find all of those musical attributes you refer to without editorializing. Eas... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Schubert, In your pantheon perhaps. Not mine. Really :-) We apparently live in different time zones. While I occasionally listen to Bruckners 7th, 8th, or 9th, time is becoming too precious for me to do it often. I'll also listen to Schubert's 8th... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados As with others here, Mahler 1 was my introduction to Mahler. (Solti and the CSO). Next was the 7th with Levine and the CSO (still my favorite version, and I think this may be due to Levine’s association with the opera, he brings an aspect of more ... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Pete23, As far as showpieces go, the Mahler 6 would be fine if the person whom you are showing has the patience. It is long!!! but never boring. It is my favorite Mahler by far (though I like them all). Now if you really want to show off your syst... |
