I really loathe those LP-sized boxes. They are the reason I passed on both Bernstein Sony sets, no matter how low the price. There is absolutely no space in my house for that. I wonder who came up with the brilliant idea.

I know it's cheap and all but does anyone actually listen to 30CDs of Vaughan Williams? The guy wrote some great music but out of the 30cds there are probably only 10 at most that anyone would want to listen to.

Of course, others say exactly the same about Wagner.

No issues with lp-sized boxes here ... got some LPs as well, plus dozens of lp-sized jazz boxes.

They are a pain, and not just to store. Getting at the discs is a problem too. Those sets ended up heavily discounted, so perhaps Sony will learn.

I am ok with the size (even though its bulky). However, the disks are places on the pages rather flimsily and have a tendency to get dislodged. Perhaps one should store the disks separately from the large unit? I think that is what I will do.

The what is the use of the large unit?

Except for those who need extra big pictures of Lenne?

They make a great collage for large wall spaces....

The Perahia Edition is 100 E on jpc (less German VAT for those outside the EU).

Thank you for the tip! It's on the way!

For anyone interested, go to JPC de. and look in the charts. A lot of good bargains are there, low prices much value!
