| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano @philjolet you make a great point. Whether you hear a piano from 15' away or through an open window it is that airiness and clarity that it is a cue that it is a piano and not a loudspeaker...hence my original question: what loudspeakers at less... | |
| Open Baffle. Why are they mostly limited to DIY? Open baffles don't always need a lot of power. I heard the spatial audio turbo m3 in salt lake at their assembly facility through the 25 wpc Rossi integrated. They easily played at 90+ db 14 feet back. They sounded really good. Very smooth, detai... | |
| Open Baffle. Why are they mostly limited to DIY? I suspect that another issue for companies that make and sell loudspeakers is the reputation for open baffles like planars and stats needing 3-5' of space. This is a pretty big market limiting factor (fewer possible buyers).... so maybe not the ea... | |
| The latest and greatest Yes and now that the ls50 w is $1200 more than the non amplified version it may not be perceived as such as bargain. | |
| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano @grannyring It definitely seems that the DIs are well thought of. I'm guessing that there are many people not too excited about 106 pounds each...so it would be interesting to hear how the Brilliance and Electrons stack up to the DI Monitors (s... | |
| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano @Wart Thanks for the suggestion and I agree that most of the time the piano is mic'd in a way that both the sound and location aren't realistic@jayctoy...you make a good point...not very many people listen to 90% piano....so I'd probably add acou... | |
| The latest and greatest I think you have two things going on with the LS50 that are causing them to come up for sale in greater numbers. First, the LS50W appears to be an improved model...which in many people's minds devalues the original LS50. Second, the LS50 purchas... | |
| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano @jayctoy. So far most comments have been that it is hard to do a piano. In my mind this is a good test for an "affordable" loudspeaker for anyone considering a new speaker. The DI and DI Monitor are getting great write ups for their overall reali... | |
| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano Do the impact monitors go low enough without a sub to capture the piano size and scale? How are they for tonality and clarity? | |
| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano Good suggestions so far... appreciated... any thoughts on revel or ohm walshes? | |
| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano The thing is that when you pick a loudspeaker it's probably because it transports you to the concert... or because it plays loud cleanly... or because it throws a gigantic image...and more. Since the piano is hard to do, especially at $4k or less... | |
| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano I think we may all agree that there is no perfect speaker for reproducing the piano but what comes closest? What about Zu, or tekton brilliance or double impact, or Martin Logan, or dynaudio or legacy or golden ear or any of the dozens I've miss... | |
| The midrange is the most important driver. @bdp24 I would also say that I haven't heard cone speakers that were quite as convincing throughout the midrange although recently I heard the KEF R500s driven by the Parasound integrated and they were pretty darn good. Given that you own planar... | |
| The midrange is the most important driver. @bdp24 Three comments about the LFT-8b1. From you comments, it seems that they have similar placement restrictions to other "panel" speakers in that they sound best 5' out from the wall which is a problem for a lot of people2. Eminent Technolog... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors @sbayne - thanks for the comments, I hear you saying that they are capable of throwing a large, 3d image with good placement of instruments and voices within....another question I'd like to ask is how they render the piano. My experience has been... |
