Thanks to the introductory post from @PioneerSX450 we have a new candidate in the classical radio category: the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra from Amsterdam streaming at either AAC/128kbps or MP3/192kbps. I was totally unaware of their treasure trove of recorded live performances.
Over the years, the RCO has been consistently ranked in the top 5 from around the world. Never got to the Concertgebouw in my few visits to the Netherlands but I was fortunate to attend an RCO performance when they toured the US years ago. Sensational!
I found somewhat more direct URLs (they look like they're just alternative paths into the same streaming server farm)
AAC/128

Bit rate (kbps): 192

I found an undersized station logo online, mapped it into a square background, and scaled it up to 300px x 300px. The result is nothing special but I attached it in case anyone else needs it.
Concerning WFMT - we already have it in the moOde Radio library.
As for KCSM, I'm still making up my own mind but it never hurts to have choices.

Kent
