In Reply to: No I try to pick the best when possible and that is why I avoid Naxos at all costs. posted by Teresa on February 1, 2008 at 23:58:07:
Telarc in general are pretty good, although I find some of them a little too bloomy (rich) at the bottom end.
Reference recordings is an audiophile label of which I only have 3 cds
which are pretty good but not stunning.
BTW: good bass does not depends solely on watts and size of woofers
We demonstrate great bass with 8 watts of amplification, but obviously very efficient loudspeakers (97 db)
Bass quality is not only qty, it must be tight, tuneful and articulate
but the again lots of people have different ideas of what good bass is all about.
BTW I am not saying that Naxos has the best track record all I am saying is that if you buy carefully you can find some really good music.
I have many Naxos that sound better than some Telarc I have.
I never generalize, they are hidden gems everywhere.
