<!-- #thumb --> <p>One of my readers brought up a really good point when he suggested the use of classical music appeals to only but a few people and the majority of high-end audio and potential high-end audio lovers listen to a much wider variety than that. *He was hopeful that the days of “uppity” classical music “snobs” looking down on those music lovers not so engaged were over.</p>
<p>I am pretty sure that’s already happened. *Go to any of the high end audio shows and the variety of music is big, varied and not centered around classical music.</p>
<p>I, for one, advocate the use of classical music for two reasons: I love it and it is the easiest to get right when it comes to the sound of real instruments played live. *Vocals, Jazz and then acoustic rock would be strong seconds and thirds.</p>
<p>Here’s the thing: once you get classical music to sound right on your system, everything else just seems to fall into place. *I routinely start with classical, then move to vocals, then on to acoustic jazz and rock before I crank up something modern and perhaps electronic. *For me it’s folly to try and set a system up with music that is not acoustic in nature.</p>
<p>But once you get that right, it’s all downhill from there.</p>
