Tongue-in-cheek answer
Next topic by sussko: which is the best piano sound for Balinese gamelan music played with a chamber music ensemble? :lol:

Serious answer
the one you like most and sounds best from your amplification system. ;)

In what setting? Privately with phones or with amplification and an audience? What kind of "classical" music? Bach? Haydn? Liszt? Shostakovich? Ligeti? So many variables...

With phones I find myself often drawn to the Grand Imperial, but also to quite a few others, depending on the literature.
Without, at home, I much prefer my acoustic grand for "classical" material, after all ;)
