What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano


Over the past 4 months I've spent time with five loudspeakers.  On a scale of 1-10 I'd rate them as follows in their ability (with my equipment in my room) to recreate a lifelike piano.  Tekton Lore - 6.5 (great scale but tonal accuracy and clarity somewhat lacking),    Kef LS50 - 7.0 (moderate scale but slightly better clarity and tonal accuracy)  Kef R500 - 8.0  (great scale and very good clarity and tonal accuracy), Spatial Audio M3TurboS -8.1 (great scale and very good clarity and tonal accuracy and very smooth)  Magnepan 1.7i - 9.0 (very good scale with excellent clarity and tonal accuracy - very lifelike).

In your room with your equipment, what loudspeakers are you listening too and how would you rate them for their ability to recreate a lifelife piano and if possible a few comments as to why?

 To produce the good piano , the speakers must be very flat
in midbass and low mid the region about 300-600 Hz
is very important to make low octave of piano sound with full body
sound . this is possible , if 3 way Loudspeakers get cross point
in this area, and absolutely impossible in one speaker ,no crossover 
design . We make unique design LS with active midbass driver, that
allow to perfect adjust the mid bass     
If you close To NY or NJ  you can check loudspeakers and listen  good

re: John--
  I agree , My Bache-audoi-002  get  active crossover built in
with 2 amplifier , Cross points 80Hz and 700Hz. so one class D
amp working like sub , but another one loaded on 8 " driver
working with frequency 80-800Hz active crossover 24db/oct
and adjuster to make flat responce ,   and piano tone very natural
So external amp ( can be low power) driving another 2 driver with
regular passive crossover cover all after 700Hz
