Aktchi:
My comment was meant to apply to speakers that I have actually owned and tested over the years in my own house, not necessarily to any that I have ever auditioned or heard. There may well be others out there, but nothing I can think of offhand that I would consider over the Ohms.
$2800 B&W floorstanders (P6) and $2500 Dynaudio Monitors (Contour 1.3 mkII) are two that I own or have owned and tried.
I lost all interest listening to classical with the B&Ws after the Maggies. Though they had good weight and slam overall, they were never convincing with classical. Pretty good with other more rhythmic forms of music though.
The Dynaudio monitors, though fantastic for their size, are not totally convincing with large scale works including classical either.
I also still have a pair of Triangle Titus 202 monitors mated with a sub which does a very respectable job with all classical music forms.
Also I would include original Ohm Walsh 2's from the 80's that I owned for years....respectable but not great with classical.
The newer Walsh CLS series 4 drivers beat out all of these in every type of music, but for classical in particular.
There is no sense of missing anything in a performance of a large scale classical piece with any of the Walsh series 3 drivers in a properly matched size room.
