I grew up with some of the Reader's Digest sets, and acquired a few more in recent years. When I found out that Wilkinson was the engineer for the European-recorded classical sets, a lot of things fell into place. They had never sounded like RCA's house sound; the soundstage was too "hemispherical" for lack of a better description, and placement was too precise. In fact, the sound is basically Decca sound. Same thing with the European recordings that RCA issued in their Soria series. Even on a different label, they sound like Decca recordings.
