PeterHa Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Greetings from Melba ACT. Melba's the streets are named after Australian musicians which I think is appropriate for someone who loves listening to classical music. I listen on a mid-fi Sherwood system through a nice pair of AXIS speakers. I am not sure what is the model of the Axis speakers- they look like pictures of seen of LS38s. At some stage I'll post a picture of them and maybe members can tell me what they are - they sound lovely though and I am a firm believer that the speakers are the most important component.. If I really want some classical music pleasure I play my cds through a little Perreaux headphone amp and a a pair of AKG 601s. Am thinking about the merit of putting a dac magic or somesuch between the Sherwood cd and the amps. Particualry with the Perreaux/AKG I think. it might make a bit of a difference even to my ageing ears. I think the look of a Stereo is important and I like matching componentry - its an important part of our lounge-room furniture I do have a weakness though for picking up nice odd bits from op-shops. To that end I am currently putting together a Rotel based stereo in the garage. I mostly listen to classical cds but we also like American, Indonesian and Pacific Islands 60s and 70s country rock, gospel and crooners. So we use a cassette deck a fair bit - if the cassette is still good and the deck is good the sound is near-cd and well suited to what is fairly undemanding music. In any case most of the Pacifc and Indonesian music was only ever made on cassette. Don't like records though - scratch too easily! Look forward to reading on the forum and maybe the odd post too.
