In Reply to: What Speaker for Classical music? posted by Sunnyjp on April 17, 2007 at 07:20:32:
Without a doubt these have to be the most incredible speakers for Classical music made today for under $1000, and they cost $300 shipped to your door.Making baffles took about 30 minutes and cost $40 inlcuding a few yards of 100% polyester felt.
I say the SI's are the best for 2 reasons: 1) the bass & size of the soundstage are amazing. 2) the price range you listed.
My pair is new, only a week or so old. I've been listening to a demo CD put out by Balanced Power Technologies and it has several tracks of Classical music. Every instrument in the orchestra is produced by the SI's, even the deep drums and horns... My soundstage more than doubled in size compared to my old Thiel CS2 floorstanders.
without a doubt, look outside the box (pun intended) to find absolute bliss for listening pleasure.
last, if people claim a speaker or brand is good for one style of music or another they are a bit misguided (not intentional though). A good speaker conveys the info going through it properly...nothing more or less.
this maybe something new to the market though. For this hobby, these are good days for sure!
