> it is just massed strings that seem to be an issue.
I often have problems with massed strings, too. It might be the recording. Have you ever heard massed strings sound good in a different system from the same recording? If so, what speakers and amplifiers were being used in that system?
I recently discovered Magnepan magnetic planar speakers, and they sound better to me than other speakers I've owned. I'm currently using Mini Maggie speakers with 500-watt monoblock amplifiers and they sound spectacular. Nevertheless, I still have orchestral recordings that don't sound good to me. On the other hand, I have other orchestral recordings that sound great. Therefore, maybe it's the recording that doesn't sound that good.
Anyway, I like these Mini Maggie speakers so much that I'm considering buying full-size Magnepan speakers.
Happy listening!

- Yes, the newer models use foil glued to the mylar instead of wires, called "quasi-ribbon". It's more reliable. - MWE 17:44:40 12/23/24 (3)
