I am interested in delving into some Mozart. Where would one start? SACD or DVD-A preferred. Thanks for any and all help.

All I have to say is that their awesome pair of headphones. Great sound stage, vocals are a bit too strong, you can feel the bass other than hearing it, and great for movies. Comfort is 4.5...

I know people bash on Bose because of they're over priced and I agree. I believe these retail for about $150 or so and I paid $85 for these due to employee discount at where I work. With that...

everything about these headphones is flawless. Everything is balanced, and perfect. Any of the reviews that didn't like them most likely have a fake pair, or, hate life. The only thing I could...

I would suggest you start out with one of his greatest works on SACD. Here it is - I hope you enjoy it. I own about 15 recordings of the requiem and this is by far my most favorite of them all. The sound quality and the performance are first rate.

you must, absolutely MUST listen to this
Le Nozze di Figaro - Jacobs/Koln
I own the Red Book version so I can't comment on the sound of the SACD, but as far as the music goes nothing comes close: I think Rene Jacobs has changed the way we listen to Mozart's opera.
Once you are done with Figaro, don't forget to pick up the older
Cosi Fan Tutte
from the same crew. Berkshire Record Outlet offers the best deal. Perhaps one or two singers are not perfect here but the performance is just as revolutionary as the Figaro one.

The Piano Concero's are probably my favorite Mozart. Anything from #19 to #27 is great. I like Brendel the best for these works.

One of my favourites is Gulda performing Mozart's Piano Concertos 23 and 26. Especially no. 26 is a great start into Mozart even though it's subtitled as "Coronation".

The Piano Concertos are a good start. I would add the later string quartets to that. Also the clarinet quintet. Perhaps my favourite Mozart recording is Gardiner's C Minor mass; if you like the requiem mass you should get that.
