Do I need a subwoofer? Which brand and model?
Wow! It makes a significant difference to the sound of the piano as well! 
Do I need a subwoofer? Which brand and model?
I am getting my turntable back and will conduct some digital vs audio tests in the near future. Also, I am thinking of adding a tube phono stage to the setup - thinking of a Bellari VP 130 which has good reviews for bang for buck. Thoughts welcome. 
Do I need a subwoofer? Which brand and model?
Finally set everything up today. I was confused about the cables (got a single one from Blue Jeans, then had to order a Y adapter to connect to the stereo outputs). Also, you cannot connect this to Pre 1 on the NAD as there is a hard connection (b...

The build quality is fantastic - beyond my expectations. it's heavy too. I ordered the piano black finish by the way. Will let you know how it sounds after cables arrive. 
Do I need a subwoofer? Which brand and model?
Quick update - subwoofer arrived along with "reference" music. Reference music was a huge disappointment. Had to go back to my Bill Evans Waltz for Debby hi-res from HDTracks. Cable not here yet so cannot set subwoofer up but just one comment - it... 
Do I need a subwoofer? Which brand and model?
All, I welcome everyone's opinions and they all have been very helpful to me. In fact, I have been re-reading this post over and over as it has a lot of useful content. I have learnt a lot from this discussion and it has clarified my ideas. I inte...

Do I need a subwoofer? Which brand and model?
Thanks Verneal, for your suggestion. I have moved beyond the subwoofer at this point. I should probably start a new thread. 
Do I need a subwoofer? Which brand and model?
I am seriously considering tape at this point :) (partly joking) I found a recording studio mentioned in that link in my post earlier that will actually make them as custom orders - at $125 each! I wonder if the sound on tape would be better than ... 
Do I need a subwoofer? Which brand and model?
I am also looking to change the connector between my Oppo blu ray player and the amp, to eliminate that from the question. It is a cheap connector. I will try the blu jeans place,. I spoke to an audio store near where I live. The guy is quirky but...

Do I need a subwoofer? Which brand and model?
Good advice Zd. Can you explain what you mean by a reference system? Do you mean an equipment setup put together by a dealer, for example, that is able to reproduce the sound the way I like it? I can try a local dealer that is willing to do that. ... 
Do I need a subwoofer? Which brand and model?
Sorry about the shot in the dark. Grateful anyway. The piano reproduction in my setup is the worst of the lot. I have always suspected it but for the past couple of days I have focused on playing solo piano pieces and find the sound to be artifici... 
Do I need a subwoofer? Which brand and model?
One thing I am curious about is why my setup responds so well to high-pitched instruments such as violins and trumpets, which sound really loud and lush, whereas solo piano sounds a lot more muted. With the former, I can barely push the volume up ... 
Do I need a subwoofer? Which brand and model?
I do notice a difference between standing and sitting. In fact, I now listen standing up, at that aforementioned 4 ft away position.I will certainly take you up on the cables - I ordered a garden variety on Amazon but can return that.I noticed tha...
