In Reply to: RE: 45 downloads, roughly half 24 bit other half DSD, and I'd give DSD a slight edge with orchestral strings posted by jdaniel@jps.net on November 06, 2016 at 08:21:21
Many of the SACD recordings from the Barbican have poor audio--acoustically dry and a flat soundstage. But there are some exceptions, my favorite being the Haitink/LSO recordings of the Beethoven symphonies.

I have the Beethoven/Haitink Barbican collection whilst OK nothing special, will have another listen now that I can get DSD all the way to final stage,however Haitink is not as good as Kleiber.
Carlos? There are recordings of him conducting only four Beethoven symphonies (4, 5, 6, 7). I like those recordings. The sound quality isn't as good as the Haitink LSO set.
just played Carlos Kleibers Beethoven 7th digitally remastered SACD Orfeo and prefer it to Haitinks 7th sound, better performance, not easy to adjust for volume. Barbican has a more closed in sound
I don't know that recording of Kleiber's Beethoven 7, only the DG CD with Vienna and the DVD with Amsterdam Concertgebouw. They are thrilling performances with adequate, not great sound.
On the Haitink Beethoven set, the sound (to me) isn't closed in, but it's a little less reverb-y than any of the Kleiber recordings I've heard. Yet to my taste, it isn't dry but just right for the Haitink set.
I don't want to have an argument; it's a matter of personal taste.
You should listen to the Orfeo SACD remastered recording of Kleibers Beethoven 7th then I expect you may change your opinion.

Thank you for pointing me in that direction. If I run across it in my local library, I'll check it out. I'd rather spend $40 on some other music right now.
