that could handle mahler #2 or Verdi Requiem at max volume without distortion? I have klipsch 2.1 THX system for two years and I am not happy with it. Any suggestions?

Answer
About a year ago a did a lot of research and invested in a pair of Creative GigaWorks T40s. The sound quality and depth of bass response from these units is truly remarkable. I particularly didn't really want to have a separate woofer unit and these speakers have continued to impress me time after time in all genres of music. No, they won't quite shake the house down, but if you want a full and realistic sound from your PC speakers with no unnecessary gimmicks and plenty of volume if you want it, I would recommend the T40s wholeheartedly. Added to this, they're not expensive at all, being far less than £100/$150 per pair if you shop around.

Be assured that, being a manager in the music business for over 30 years and a compulsive listener to all sorts of music, I am VERY fussy about the sound of my music (which is why I can't listen to MP3s). You won't go wrong with these babies!

What kind of Sound systems are the best?

There are so many kinds of sound systems out there these days.
I am a very sensitive listener and want to buy a sound system that can play classical (and purely classic, mostly violin concertos) music like it is being performed on a stage. Can anyone please give me background info (i have NO knowledge on this area) as well as suggestions and pricing?
Thank you in advance!

Answer
If price is no object, and you are a critical listener, you should go with a pre/pro setup. You will have a pre amp, which is what you will connect all of your sources to, then you will have an external power amplifier which is what will supply the power to drive your speakers.

I can give you some brands to look at

For pre amps- you can use pretty much any avr with pre-outs which is what you will use to connect your power amp.

*Denon
*Onkyo
*Yamaha
*Marantz

For power amps, I am guessing you ware wanting a 2ch stereo setup.

*Krell
*Mark Levinson
*Lexicon
*Classe
*McIntosh(can be VERY pricey)

All of those power amp brands can be pretty pricey, but if you are wanting the best performance you can get, and you are wanting it to sound like a live performance, those brands are the way to go.

You will also need some speakers:

Some notable brands worth looking at:

*Bowers & Wilkins
*Monitor Audio
*Martin Logan
*Polk Audio
*JBL
*Klipsch
*Paradigm

Of course, you will need to go to a store/dealer and audition the equipment you are interested in. Nobody can just sit her and tell you what sounds the best. Everybody hears things differently, what sounds good to one person may sound like crap to someone else... or vice-versa.
