MeloManiac Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Consider this a confession of a 'guilty pleasure'... Rondo' Veneziano (1980/81) When I was about 12 years old, I convinced my parents to buy a 'stereo chain' and they invested in a formidable one of the Onkyo brand. I still have it in my house. At the time, in the shop they 'demo-ed' it with a record that is a bizarre mix of baroque and rock drums/rhythm. We got the record when we bought the stereo, so we listened to it a lot at our home. In the years that followed, I got to learn a lot more music of all genres (mostly classical and hard rock, when I was young, Jazz and blues and all the rest came to me in my adult life), and it's been a very long time since I listened to Rondo' Veneziano, because I considered it Kitsch with a capital. So... this morning I put it on my turntable, after ignoring it for about 40 years! Very nostalgic moment, I must admit, and boy, this records sounds bright and shiny too! What a pleasant surprise! Rondò Veneziano is an Italian chamber orchestra, specializing in Baroque music, playing original instruments, but incorporating a rock-style rhythm section of synthesizer, bass guitar and drums, led by Maestro Gian Piero Reverberi, who is also the principal composer of all of the original Rondò Veneziano pieces. The unusual addition of modern instruments, more suitable for jazz, combined with Reverberi's arrangements and original compositions, have resulted in lavish novel versions of classical works over the years. As a rule in their concert tours, the musicians, mostly women, add to the overall Baroque effect wearing Baroque-era attire and coiffures. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rondò_Veneziano ) This is from 2016, same musicians as in 1980s... 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in general SS amps can be fatiguing after long periods of listening Tube is best for high efficiency systems, they have a sound signature that marries well with ones that a human body likes, that can be described as warm and pleasing And they are less fatiguing than SS amps 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
