Four Hombres from Boston

This is the Brahms I have with the Scherzo from the F.A.E. Sonata. Nice recording, and close enough to what we heard last night. But it being a Decca, it ain't going to be the best. But the performance is really great.

I watched these two performing this at Barbican where Decca were recording it back towards the end of 2014.

Love this. There is real poetry between these two. Bill from London put me onto Leonidas Kavakos. Just love Leonidas’s intense soulfulness and just a perfect foil to Yuja’s liquid, shining spirit and real brilliance... just a great pairing in the Brahm’s sonatas. Great recommendation.

are you hombres all trading in your rigs for horns/SET now? that's what inquiring minds want to know

Very prescient of you Keith. One of us traded his rig for horns/SETs. I listened to string chamber music last night at volumes that approached what we heard live that evening two years ago.

The sound of my system is quite different now. @jeffrey_t can relate.

You don't have to use full horns, but if you want the scale of volume you'll need sensitive speakers that can do those types of volumes. There may be a sacrifice in the "3Dness" of the soundstage... well pretty well for sure. A bigger room would be nice, but not required. If you have loud enough speakers you won't really even need to sit in the room anways

I chose the full corner horns in a small room.
