Doug_H · 04-03-2008, 12:48 PM

I have found myself listening to more and more classical music the last year. It started because it can sound so amazing on my Maggie set up. I am now very interested in starting a classical collection but really have no idea where to start. There are so many versions of so much material that I get overwhelmed quickly trying to pick on my own.

I lean towards symphony and orchestral music right now. Beethoven would be a good example.

I do understand that much of this is subjective but I would like opinions on where to start. I am looking for the best recording quality and music. I have DVD-A and SACD capability as well.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
