MusiCHI
Tagging classical is most of all a lot of work.
The internet databases in general recognize the CD but the results are often a mess.
Don't be surprised if you get
Sonate für Klavier und Violine F-dur Opus 24 [Frühling]
Sonata No. 5 "Frühlings - Sonate"
The Violin Sonata No. 5 in F major “Spring”, Opus 24
Often the composer is stored in the artist field and the performer hopefully in the album title.
What you need is tags for Composer and Composition and have them populated in a uniform way.
The MusiCHI tagger addresses these problems.
It has pick list for Composer and Composition.
You can also batch process your collection (MusiCHI Clean)
The text processor offers a lot of options to cleanup your tags.
I do recommend the MusiCHI Tagger.
It is a real time saver when tagging classical.

Opalum active wireless speakers.
Even wireless active speakers needs power to drive the build-in amps.
Opalum has a very specific solution.
The speakers are fed (24 V) by a dual wire connected to a hub.
The signal is transferred over the same wire.
You can connect the speakers parallel or daisy chain them.
The hub takes care of the connectivity.
Analog and SPDIF inputs
Wireless b/g with Airplay and DLNA.

Genelect G-series
Genelec is well known in the pro-world.
In 2013 they launched the G series targeting the home.
I do think active speakers for home use is becoming a new trend.
