Oh count me in for sure, I'd love to attend a classical music session.

Absolutely! Count me in too.

Sudden interest! I adored the Avantgarde Unos when I heard them in Cloney Audio (over ten years ago?) in fact I nearly got my hands on a 2nd hand pair, so I was very interested in this, but not at the price of listening to non-classical!

It was 1998 also the first time I got to hear those white Uno's.

The classical music played on Tuesday evening sounded exquisite, mind you it didn't matter what we played it sounded great, like placing a large and optically correct magnifying glass over the music, everything was not only bigger but clear, allowing you to hear much greater detail.
The dynamics displayed were quite outside of anything I'd experienced.

The dynamics truly are astonishing, and in a sense we played to that strength in most of the musical selections. However, earlier tunes were a bit more subtle, and that's an area I'd love to examine further in the classical arena.
