But, if they can't reproduce classical well then I would look elsewhere. It seems the OP is wanting a very good musical reproduction.
I did not say they couldn't reproduce classical well. Incidentally I am listening one of my favorite Violin Concerto at this moment, and is enjoying it. I said comparing them with my much more (>8 times without adjusting for inflation) expensive speakers there was a wide margin if classical music is used for the comparison. I actually meant a wider (not wide) margin, that was my mistake but it was easier to say "wide" grammatically

the way I composed that post. It is mainly how it reproduces the violin, and I may be bias as I used the 802D as reference for how violin and strings in general should sound. FYI, many people on this forum do not like the 800 series. I am among the few who do, as I thought the 800 series speakers reminded me of how I enjoyed live classical concerts. I purchased my $3,300 speakers after convincing myself that it sounded most similar to the 802D.

and they barely passed the WAF in terms of price and look. Typically I do not believe in hypes and hearsays such as how important it is to have an Oppo for DVD upscaling, ACD power etc., but I was nicely surpised by the P362 after purchasing a pair purely out of curiousity. The P362 are real deals, and I thank those who have been telling others about them. I would have never known that a <$400 a pair speakers can be that good. I may have to sell them though as I have enough speakers without them.
While my Aperions are older, I would imagine that the current line is as good or better than what I have. The company offers a wonderful 30 day trial period with shipping both ways.
That is a big plus for sure. At the <$1000 price range it is almost impossible to audition speakers in a decent envirnoment with suitable electronics without taking them home.
