General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Vintage speaker for classical that does it all?

I used to sell Klipsch and still own a pair of Heresys, but aside from dynamics, I would not recommend them for classical, although a subwoofer or 2 would help considerably. Celestion and KEF are excellent choices. Time Windows never worked for me. I never understood their popularity. Energy is often overlooked, but they did very well with classical, particularly if you go up the line. Spendors can be breathtaking if you don't need to play loud. Big ADS speakers will play loud and have a relatively neutral balance, but are not as transparent as Spendors. As I said ADS will play loud, really loud with the right amplification. There was a reason why Telarc used them.
