I'm open to Classical, I have about 200 or so albums, I do like some pieces very much. I simply prefer jazz, blues, folk and male/female vocal on the main. I don't listen to rock at all, the horns are currently playing Charlie Haden (Jazz) as it happens. If you don't play vocal I think that's a shame. I'm sure your well tested Wagner tells you a lot and communicates with you. There is no difference IMO with my preference for Oscar Peterson and communication and indeed audio evaluation.
For me my HiFi has one job, and that's recreating the emotion and magic of the live event. I like most have to evaluate opinions for credibility and personal preferences on forums, as always there are posters with no substance and posters where the objective is different and hence the value is diluted. As I note accuracy and in many ways 'detail' for me are secondary, that may be different for classical. When I do play classical I want to dynamics and scale as if I'm near the front, right at the back is too distant to tug at my heart strings, your right on preferences.
What db level do you listen at ?
