D'Addario are the best!
These and the normal tensions have got to be the best classical guitar strings on the planet. They are pricier but worth it. I've been using D'Addario forever and they are simply amazing! For electric guitar I use the EXL140 - Light Top/Heavy Bottom and for acoustic the EJ16 and EXP16.
Quote: David Russell plays a guitar built by Matthias Damman of Passau Germany. The instrument features brazilian rosewood sides and back and a cedar top implanted with graphite. "This guitar weighs much less than most I've used says Russell. "It has a very powerful sound which makes it easier to play with an orchestra. The sound is very flexible. Often cedar top guitars force you into one sound but this one gives a big fat sound if I want it and a thin bright sparkling sound when I want that. Russell uses J. D'Addario normal tension strings. "I use the lowest tension strings because you get better vibrato" he says. "You lose a little bit of volume but each note can be more musical. I like a guitar that is easy to play. I tell luthiers that the best way to make a good sounding guitar is to make it easier to play so the guitarist can play it better." Russell is miked for concerto work but prefers no sound reinforcement for his solo concerts.More detail ...
