Thanks for your comments! Don't think that two audiophiles can ever agree on anything :)

Here goes. The reason for my picking the Bruch may rest in what faults we're able to forgive or listen through. When push comes to shove, there's not a classical recording with solo artist that I listen to that isn't spotlit. Heifitz. Starker. Oistrakh. Rubinstein (the worst offender). You name it. So I really can listen through that quality while you can't. Pick your poison :)

Why I really liked the Bruch. Stupendous dynamic range. Superlative tonality esp. strings from high to low. A sense of hall second to none. So in the end, to me when you added up the plusses and minuses, I really thought the Wilkinson captured almost all of the essential ingredients that make up a classical concert.

On the other hand, the Arnold to me still sounds too lean and slightly to the cool side (some my say like Spectral gear) of neutral.
