Actually Steve is correct in recommending those strings.

There are several 'classical sets' out there that exceed 100lbs tension, while the set he suggested is only 94.20.

Tension is tension is tension.

The resulting tone, of course, is another story, but they may well satisfy the OP's idea of aural nirvana.
